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.

We take great pride in announcing that this year, we are privileged to have Occupation­al Awards as our headline sponsor.
