The LSC launches the sixth National Apprenticeship Awards
16 Jan 2009
The search is on to find the nation’s top Apprenticeship employers and top individual apprentices as the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) launches its prestigious sixth annual National Apprenticeship Awards.
Sponsored by City & Guilds, the Apprenticeship
Awards are designed to recognise employers who are successfully using Apprenticeships
to improve their businesses’ performance and champion the key role apprentices
play in today’s business world. Indeed, Apprenticeships have a long history and
the country as we know it today would not look as it does without the
contribution of apprentices.
Apprenticeships are crucial for providing employers with the skills they
need to succeed, particularly in the current climate, spanning the breadth of
the economy from accountancy and engineering, to construction, creative
industries and sport. Apprenticeships also provide a high-quality alternative
route to future career success for ambitious individuals.
There are five categories for employers depending on company size: Micro (1-9 employees), Small (10-49
employees), Medium (50-249 employees), Large (250-4,999 employees) and the new
Macro size category that will cover businesses with over 5,000 employees. Apprentices can enter one of the three
categories open to them too: Apprentice of the Year, Advanced Apprentice of the
Year and Young Apprentice of the Year.
For details on how to apply or for more
information, visit apprenticeships.org.uk/awards or call 0800 954 8896. The deadline for entries is Friday 27th February. Regional Apprenticeship Awards
category winners will automatically be entered into the National Apprenticeship
Awards. The winners’ event will be held on 16th July 2009 at Old Billingsgate Market, Central
London.
