National Apprenticeship Week: Why apprenticeships are so important for the workforce and how you can get involved in Greater Manchester

National Apprenticeship Week is an annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships. Running from the February 6-10 this year, the week brings together businesses and apprentices to reflect on the positive impact that apprenticeships make to individuals, businesses and the economy.

This is the 16th annual National Apprenticeship Week and aims to raise awareness of the benefits of taking part in one of these schemes. Apprenticeships provide an opportunity to get hands-on training, whilst making money and giving you the potential to progress into a career.
