Sue Price, Divisional Area Director for the National Apprenticeship Service in the North, added: “To be counting down to the seventh National Apprenticeship Week is really exciting and I look forward to being part of an even more exciting week with more partners supporting the Week. I am particularly keen to see examples of the great work that is created by apprentices.

“National Apprenticeship Week is a fantastic opportunity to shine the spotlight on Apprenticeships and how they help employers grow their own talent and provide a great opportunity for apprentices to earn while they learn.”
