national apprenticeship week 2015 A great success..

National Apprenticeship Week in 2015 was bigger and better than ever before. With more than 60 high profile events happening across the two counties - providers and partners came up with a really innovative and creative mix of events.

“Without a doubt we reached thousands of young people, parents and employers to raise awareness about apprenticeships. I’m very proud of our network and what we achieved by working together. Now what shall we start planning for NAW2016..........?”

Anna Morrison, B&HPN Manager “Another successful year of inspiring events and activities over the National Apprenticeship Week 2015 led to a record breaking number of employer pledges in the East of England.

It was only possible through true partnership effort, well done to all!”
