National Apprenticeship Week
National Apprenticeship Week took place from 10 to 16 February 2025. We hosted a programme of events to raise the profile of apprenticeships as well the impact they have on individuals, employers, and wider economy.
These events are aimed at supporting potential apprentices, the wider business community who may be considering hiring an apprentice, and parents and carers who may be supporting a young person to access an apprenticeship.
The national theme for National Apprenticeship Week 2025 is 'Skills for Life'.
