National Apprenticeship Week in its seventh year

National Apprenticeship Week is back for the seventh year running, and 2014 will offer even more ways for employers to show their support of apprentices.

National Apprenticeship Week, which will run between 3 and 7 March 2014, will see hundreds of events taking place across the South of England.

The week aims to show the postive impact apprentices have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy.

Karen Woodward, Interim National Director of Apprenticeships at the National Apprenticeship Service, said:

“To be counting down to the seventh National Apprenticeship Week is really exciting and I look forward to being part of an even more exciting week with more partners supporting the Week. I am particularly keen to see examples of the great work that is created by apprentices. “National Apprenticeship Week is a fantastic opportunity to shine the spotlight on Apprenticeships and how they help employers grow their own talent and provide a great opportunity for apprentices to earn while they learn.”

Ways in which individuals and employers can show their support of apprentices include wearing the new T-shirt designed by apprentice Rebecca Timson and launched at the National Apprenticeship Awards, and Tweeting pictures of products that have been #madebyapprentices.
