National Apprenticeship Week
National Apprenticeship Week
Become an apprentice or partner
National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) is an annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships.
As part of National Apprenticeship Week, we will be hosting a series of events highlighting apprenticeships and emphasising the positive impact apprenticeships have had on individuals, communities, education, employers and industries.
In collaboration with partners such as the Metropolitan Police Service, the NHS, and the greater Newham community, join us as we honour outstanding apprentice accomplishments and employer participation in apprenticeships.
Boost Your Business with Our Apprenticeship Programmes
Are you an employer looking to enhance your workforce and drive innovation? Our apprenticeship programmes are designed to help you achieve these goals by providing your team with the skills and knowledge they need to excel.
At UEL, we are dedicated to delivering practical learning experiences that benefit both employers and apprentices. We offer a range of apprenticeships across various levels and disciplines, in collaboration with leading industry partners. Our programmes combine academic with hands-on training, ensuring your employees gain valuable skills that directly contribute to your business's success.
Why partner with us?
By partnering with us, you can:
- Develop a Skilled Workforce: Equip your employees with the latest industry knowledge and practical skills.
- Enhance Employee Retention: Invest in your team's professional growth and foster loyalty.
- Drive Business Innovation: Leverage new ideas and perspectives brought by apprentices to stay ahead in your industry.
- Benefit from Cost-Effective Training: Due to government subsidies and the national Apprenticeship Levy, apprenticeships are a cost-effective way to upskill your employees. For non-levy employers, the government covers 95% of the training costs, making it an affordable option.
Our apprenticeships not only provide recognised qualifications but also empower your employees to make meaningful contributions to your business and the wider community.
