National Apprenticeship Week 2026
National Apprenticeship Week 2026 is taking place from 9th to 15th February 2025. The theme is ‘Skills for Life’, reflecting on how apprenticeships can help individuals to develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career, and employers to develop a workforce with future ready skills.
Throughout the week we have planned for students to engage in a range of different activities during form time each day to explore apprenticeships further using resources provided by Amazing Apprenticeships. Students will also be exploring different apprenticeships in their subject lessons.
