What are the National Apprenticeship Awards?

The National Apprenticeship Awards challenge top apprenticeship employers and apprentices across England to come forward and show how apprenticeships have made a real difference to their organisation and careers.

The awards, now its 12th year, run by the National Apprenticeship Service, recognise excellence in 2 areas:
