Apprenticeship Awards 2008

An Apprenticeship is the key to your future. Why not make that key golden by entering the Apprenticeship Awards 2008?

On 3 December 2007 the Apprenticeship Awards 2008 were launched by the Learning & Skills Council (LSC). The Awards are in their fifth successful year and have become the most prestigious event on the Apprenticeship calendar.

The Awards celebrate the success of apprentices who have made a real difference to their own future and the organisation they work for. They also recognise the work of employers who are successfully improving their business performance so don’t miss out on your chance to be there and enter today!

There are four categories open to apprentices:
Apprentice of the Year, Advanced Apprentice of the Year, Young Apprentice of the Year and Personal Achiever of the Year.

Employers are eligible to enter for one of four categories, depending on their size: Micro (1-9 employees), Small (10-49 employees), Medium (50-249 employees), and Large (250+ employees).

As a finalist you will receive national publicity and recognition for yourself, your business and your industry, as well as an invitation to the glittering Awards ceremony.

This year’s ceremony, hosted by LSC Chair, Chris Banks, will be held on 10 July 2008 at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London. With over a quarter of a million apprentices working in over 130,000 organisations in England alone, the LSC is keen to attract as many high-quality entries as possible from our industry.
