A week-long celebration that brings together learning providers, apprentices, employers, teachers, career advisors, parents and carers across the country to shine a light on the positive impact that apprenticeships make to individuals, businesses and the wider economy.
It’s the biggest week in the apprenticeship calendar, and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever before. Events and activities take place throughout the country, in colleges, schools, communities, workplaces and government.
