Supporting National Apprentice Week 2020

The 2nd – 9th February marks the 13th National Apprenticeship Week.

National Apprentice Week is an annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships across England and a time to recognise and applaud apprenticeship success stories across the country.

Throughout the 13 years, National Apprenticeship Week has brought together apprenticeship supporters from across the country, with MPs, ambassadors, apprentices, training providers and top employers involved in recognising the value and importance of apprenticeships.

And here at AWE, we are celebrating our very own wonderful apprentices and our award winning Apprentice Academy.

Read some of the inspiring stories:

George – Nuclear Engineering Degree Apprentice
