This year’s theme, Skills for Life, highlights the crucial role apprenticeships play in equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge needed for a fulfilling career while also enabling employers to develop a workforce that is prepared for the future.
The Trust extends its gratitude to all the training providers who support its apprentices, ensuring they receive the guidance and development necessary to thrive in their roles. A huge congratulations is also in order for everyone who successfully completed their apprenticeship in 2024—an outstanding achievement!
