National Apprenticeship Week is back from the 10th – 16th February 2025! 🎉
This celebratory week provides us with the opportunity to recognise the huge impact apprenticeships have on both learners and employers – from starting careers to creating a more positive work culture.
National Apprenticeship Week is our favourite time of the year and we can’t believe it’s already been a year since the last one.
After the success of last year, the theme this year is Skills for Life.
Skills for Life is all about unlocking professional potential by gaining valuable lifelong, transferable skills. Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to upskill – whether you are taking your first step onto the career ladder, making a career change, or progressing in your current industry.
Who’s ready to see what we have in store for 2025? Make sure you don’t miss out on any of our NAW content and follow us on social media:
