For National Apprenticeship Week 2026, we’re celebrating the power of apprenticeships with a packed programme of activities and opportunities designed to inspire, inform and support learners, employers and schools alike.
Join us for a series of live webinars and interactive taster sessions, including Explore Routes into Teaching, Early Years Apprenticeships Taster Session, Specialist Teaching Assistant Taster Session, and An Introduction to Leader Apprenticeships with NPQs, all tailored to help you discover what apprenticeship routes could look like for you.
Throughout the week, we will also be releasing apprentice case studies that highlight the real impact apprenticeships have on individuals, employers, and the wider community, offering valuable insights into apprenticeship journeys and success stories.
We’re also excited to showcase the National Apprenticeship Awards, celebrating the achievements of apprentices and employers who are driving the future of apprenticeships.
We’re also shining a spotlight on real experiences by sharing apprentice stories to champion the journeys of individuals and employers. Plus, there are resources for schools to spark conversations about apprenticeships, and support available for those looking to find an apprenticeship or hire an apprentice.

Join us in celebrating the exceptional achievements of apprentices and employers who have set a fantastic example of learning over the past year.
We invite nominations for both apprentices and employers who have gone above and beyond in their apprenticeship journey. If you know someone who has demonstrated outstanding commitment and growth, nominate them for an award.
All nominees will receive a certificate, and the winners, selected by our panel of apprenticeship tutors, will be honoured with a special trophy.
