National Apprenticeship Week 2023 is an opportunity for the skills community to celebrate and promote apprenticeships across England, gaining regional and national profile. Now in its 16th year, it showcases the impact apprentices can have on communities, local businesses and regional economies.
This year’s theme is “Skills for Life” encouraging everyone to consider how apprenticeships can help individuals to develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career, and employers to develop a workforce with future ready skills.
Technical education has been transformed in recent years through programmes such as apprenticeships, T Levels and other skills products. The week will encourage the country to consider and celebrate how technical education can help individuals to develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career, and employers to develop a workforce with future ready skills.
In the February issue of Emergency Services Times, we will be showcasing the range of apprentices working across the emergency services, sharing their stories to encourage our readers to find out more about how apprentices can benefit you and your organisation.
