National Apprenticeship Week 2023
6th - 12th February
Building skills for life

Here's how we supported National Apprenticeship Week 2023 #NAW2023 #SkillsForLife

The 16th annual National Apprenticeship Week #NAW2023 took place between 6th-12th February, coordinated and organised by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS). This annual event brings together employers and apprentices from across the UK to celebrate the success of apprenticeships and traineeships with the aim of encouraging more people to choose an apprenticeship as a pathway to a great career.

Our multi award-winning apprenticeship scheme provides a professional route into the industry through a fully supported training and development programme providing opportunities at all levels, supporting them to develop academically and professionally up to Chartered status.

Approximately 20% of our workforce are employed through this initiative and we’re extremely proud of all that they have achieved.

During the week, we...

  • Launched our 2023 Apprenticeship Recruitment Campaign
  • Partnered with AAN and IfATE on their 'Apprenticeships - Embedding sustainable thinking' live event featuring our Peter Anderson, Managing Partner
  • Spotlighted some of our Future Leaders representatives for their thoughts on what being part of the forum means to them
  • Exhibited at the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Apprenticeships' careers fair in Westminster
  • Held an organised site visit, run by one of our apprentices, Charlie Bagnall
  • Featured in CIBSE's 'Employer Tuesday' campaign
