- Hundreds of stakeholder events take place across England
- Use #AskAnApprentice and #AskAnEmployer online Q&A’s
to share insights of apprenticeships with the wider community
- Push for the apprenticeships community to support social
media activity
Business meetings, open days, celebration events and parents
evenings all being held in workplaces, schools and training
providers premises across the country. For the first time,
National Apprenticeship Week includes weekend activity, with
many employers opening their doors to young people and their
parents at open day events.
National Apprenticeship Week, now in its 13th year, is the
perfect opportunity to celebrate the benefits of
apprenticeships. This year, the theme ‘Look Beyond’
celebrates the diversity in apprenticeships today. Bringing
the whole apprenticeship community together, the Week
celebrates the impact of apprenticeships on individuals,
employers and the economy.
For those individuals and employers looking to find out more
about apprenticeships, current and past apprentices, and
apprentice employers will support online Q&A sessions to
answer questions about apprenticeships.
Individuals interested in finding out about apprenticeships
can join the #AskAnApprentice Q&A on Twitter on Wednesday
5 February, whilst employers interested in finding out more
about the business benefits in recruiting apprentices can
join the #AskAnEmployer Q&A on Thursday 6 February. Both
Q&A’s run from 12 to 2pm. Just follow the relevant
hashtag on Twitter to be part of the conversation.
Making a splash across social media on launch day, the
apprenticeship community are asked to support the Week by:
- sharing the launch tweet - a film featuring brilliant
past and current apprentices and apprentice employers,
celebrating apprenticeship diversity
- adding the ‘We’re fired
up’ badge to social media profiles
- taking part in the ‘Making
Impact’ social media series
- join #AskAnApprentice or #AskAnEmployer Q&A
sessions
- host or attend an event and show your
support for apprenticeships
Keith Smith, Director, Apprenticeships Group, ESFA said:
“There is much to celebrate in apprenticeships and National
Apprenticeship Week gives the whole apprenticeships community
opportunity to showcase the many brilliant apprenticeships
available in England today.
“It is fantastic to see so many events taking place across
England I am enthused to be invited to such a variety of
events this Week. There’s also lots happening across social
media! Let’s all get behind apprenticeships and celebrate the
opportunities apprenticeships present to fire up careers.”
