The ‘apprenticeships work’ themed National Apprenticeship
Week 2018 (NAW 2018) takes place from 5 to 9 March and
will be a week-long celebration of apprenticeships in England -
designed to showcase how apprenticeships work for individuals,
businesses, communities and the wider economy.
During National Apprenticeship Week employers and apprentices
from across England will come together to celebrate the success
of apprenticeships whilst encouraging, even more, people to
choose an apprenticeship as the pathway to a great career.
The National Apprenticeship Week
events map will highlight the array of events scheduled
to take place. The events map from National Apprenticeship Week
2017 held information on over 500 events, including the launch
event hosted by Barclays with Secretary of State ; an ‘apprentice take over’
event at the House of Commons with over 150 apprentices; the
Skills Minister visiting Crossrail and meeting apprentices and
many careers events and business breakfasts across the country.
Sue Husband, Director, National Apprenticeships Service said:
The success of National Apprenticeship Week hangs on the
fantastic support we receive during each National
Apprenticeship Week we’ve run. We want 2018 to eclipse previous
triumphs and we would encourage apprentices, employers and our
partners to join forces and help celebrate the brilliance of
apprenticeships.
Apprenticeships offer real career opportunities and National
Apprenticeship Week 2018 will showcase how apprenticeships work
across all industries, sectors and job roles, from school
leaving age to older apprentices.
There’s no better way to mark apprenticeship achievement than
by the apprenticeship community coming together and shouting
loudly about the difference apprenticeships are making. Please
use the resources we’ve provided to develop fantastic
opportunities to applaud apprenticeships during the week.
This year, a stakeholder portal has
been developed to host National Apprenticeship Week resources.
Stakeholders can access and download materials to help us promote
the week.
