National Apprenticeship Week 2022 is the 15th annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships, this year taking place from Monday 7th to Friday 11th February.
The week brings together businesses and apprentices across the country to shine a light on the positive impact that apprenticeships make to individuals, businesses and the wider economy.
The theme for National Apprenticeship Week 2022 will be ‘build the future’; reflecting on how apprenticeships can help individuals to develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career, and businesses to develop a talented workforce that is equipped with future-ready skills.
A range of activities will be taking place across England to showcase how apprenticeships have helped businesses of all sizes and sectors across England.
There will be over 1,200 virtual and in-person events taking place. To take a look at the events listings for each day, visit the Apprenticeships website on https://www.apprenticeships.gov.uk/influencers/naw2022-events-listing
