National Apprenticeship Week 2024 begins with theme of ‘Skills for Life’

National Apprenticeship Week 2024 is taking place from 5th to 11th February; this year’s theme is ‘Skills for Life’.

The annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships is now in its 17th year of highlighting the value, benefit and opportunity that they bring.

The theme for National Apprenticeship Week 2024 is ‘Skills for Life’ and seeks to shine a light on the long-term benefits of apprenticeships in developing the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career.

As part of the week-long initiative, a host of events are taking place nationwide and locally in Greater Manchester for both apprentices and those looking to start their careers, as well as for businesses.

Among the events taking place in Greater Manchester include Empowering You, Our Future Workforce: National Apprenticeship Week 2024, a panel discussion taking place at Venues @ Cornerstone, 2 Edward Street, Stockport on 8th February. This event will bring together a panel of employers and apprentices and will serve as a platform for sharing success stories, showcasing the achievements of apprenticeships, and promoting the benefits of this valuable form of training.

A full list of events taking place in Greater Manchester to mark National Apprenticeship Week 2024 can be found on the GMCA website, which also features booking details.

Businesses interested in promoting their apprentices and opportunities during National Apprenticeship Week 2024 can download a toolkit from the initiative’s website.
