What is Apprenticeship Week?
In 2012, the fifth Apprenticeship Week will take place between
the 6 and 10 February. This is the week when all eyes are on
Apprenticeships and it’s all about raising the profile of
Apprenticeships amongst employers, learners, parents, stakeholders
and the media.
The objectives for Apprenticeship Week are:
- To bring to life positive messages about Apprenticeships.
- To engage employers with the advantages of employing and
supporting apprentices in their workplace.
- To create noise around Apprenticeships with the wider
public.
- To highlight the range of Apprenticeships available in
different sectors and progression routes.
- To highlight the increased number and range of Apprenticeships
available in both the private and public sector.
