The 16th annual National Apprenticeship Week approaches again, aiming to bring together businesses and apprentices across the country to shine a light on the positive impact apprentices make to individuals, businesses and our wider economy.

Running from February 6-12, this year’s theme is “Skills For Life” – confirming apprenticeships arm those involved with skills that will serve them throughout life, giving them the knowledge required to carve out successful careers.

Skills for Life include equipping young people with literacy, numeracy and digital skills.

National Apprenticeship Week is also aimed at helping businesses to develop a talented workforce that is equipped with future-ready skills.

It will involve schools, colleges, teachers, students, employers and parents and is aimed at helping communities, local businesses and regional economies.

According to The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education there are now almost 650 apprenticeships to train people for a huge variety of jobs.

Such opportunities are available across all different sectors from entry level right up to senior management, covering level two right up to degree qualifications.

During the Apprenticeship Week thousands will come together online to celebrate Apprenticeships in support of the Government-run scheme.

National Apprenticeship Week 2023 is a week-long celebration of apprenticeships across England. There are a wide range of events taking place during the scheme, showcasing what is available.

Events throughout the week include live on February 6 at 3pm an online presentation with Security Service MI5, Secret Intelligence Service MI6 and GCHQ, all apprenticeships within the UK intelligence services.
