National Apprenticeship Week 2024

It’s National Apprenticeship Week from the 5 to 11 February

This week highlights the amazing work of employers and apprentices across England and raises awareness about apprenticeship opportunities.

The theme for NAW 2024 is ‘Skills for Life’, looking at the skills and knowledge that can be developed through an apprenticeship.

What are apprenticeships?

Apprenticeships are jobs with training, they are available in a wide range of job sectors, from looking after animals to working in the legal profession. You learn job-specific skills whilst earning a wage, you also get time off for training or study.
