The Awards were established in 2017 as a joint project by FE Week and AELP, with the national awards ceremony taking place at the Annual Apprenticeship Conference Gala Dinner.
Open to all apprenticeship providers and employers in the UK, the apprenticeship awards are competitive with two types of awards, Route Awards and National Awards. The Awards recognise activity up to the end of July 2021.
Our national finalists will be recognised at a special celebratory reception at the Houses of Parliament on Monday, February 21st, hosted by the Rt Hon. Robert Halfon MP.
The National Ceremony will take place on Tuesday 22 March at the Annual Apprenticeship Conference Gala Dinner and Awards Evening.
