Sue Husband, Director of the National Apprenticeship Service
said:
Announcing award finalists means we are another step closer to
the national final and finding out who has a truly bright
future ahead of them. Successful finalists all have fantastic
stories to tell and their apprenticeship journey – be it as
apprentices,employers or those indivduals who go above and
beyond to champion apprenticeships – is something I personally
look forward to finding out more about and to hear how
apprenticeships have benefitted them.
I congratulate everyone who has been named a national finalist
today and whatever the outcome on the night, each finalist
deserves a huge pat on the back for committing to and
delivering successful apprenticeships.
Best of luck to all finalists and thanks once again to our
generous sponsors for supporting the 2017 awards.
