National Apprenticeship Week is a chance for employers and apprentices from across England to come together and celebrate the success of apprenticeships whilst encouraging even more people to choose apprenticeships as a pathway to a great career.

- for employers
- for the community
- for the wider economy
Why take on an apprentice?
The benefits of apprenticeships and traineeships are becoming increasingly obvious to more and more businesses. It’s a fact that apprenticeships develop a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce. Businesses that offer apprenticeships view them as beneficial to their long-term development. According to the British Chambers of Commerce, most employ an apprentice to improve the skills base within their business.
