Entries open for National World's North East Apprenticeship Awards
National World proudly announces its commitment to fostering talent and skill development across the UK and Northern Ireland in 2024. This year, we will deliver nine Apprenticeship Awards, with a dedicated event – North East Apprenticeship Awards – in the region.
Our journey with the apprenticeship awards began in 2017, driven by the desire to spotlight the success stories emerging from apprenticeship programs. We aim to showcase not only the achievements of apprentices but also the invaluable support from their employers, mentors, and training providers.
Apprenticeships provide a unique approach to education, training, and career development. The hands-on learning experience, coupled with the opportunity to earn while you learn, makes apprenticeships a dynamic pathway for individuals exploring diverse industries, from traditional trades to cutting-edge fields like technology and healthcare.
The program often serves as a gateway to full-time employment in industries that apprentices may not have previously considered, as highlighted by many of our finalists who shared inspiring insights into the transformative impact of apprenticeships on both the apprentice and the employer.
Completing an apprenticeship frequently leads to industry-recognised certifications, enhancing individuals' credibility and employability and facilitating smoother transitions into different roles or advancements within their chosen fields.
Join us in celebrating the exceptional apprenticeship network in the North East at the highly anticipated North East Apprenticeship Awards 2024.
