The 16th annual National Apprenticeship Week approaches again, aiming to bring together businesses and apprentices across the country to shine a light on the positive impact apprentices make to individuals, businesses and our wider economy.

Running from February 6-12, this year’s theme is “Skills For Life” – confirming apprenticeships arm those involved with skills that will serve them throughout life, giving them the knowledge required to carve out successful careers.

Skills for Life include equipping young people with literacy, numeracy and digital skills.

National Apprenticeship Week is also aimed at helping businesses to develop a talented workforce that is equipped with future-ready skills.
