A Week to Celebrate Success

A week-long celebration of the unprecedented success of Apprenticeships will take place from 25th-29th February across England. The week seeks to raise the profile of Apprenticeships and encourage more employers to take on apprentices whilst paying tribute to the achievements of employers and apprentices so far and explaining the key role that Apprenticeships are playing in today's world.
This is the first Apprenticeship Week of its kind. It will now become an annual event following the recommendations of the Apprenticeship Review "Expanding apprenticeships, developing world-class skills" published on 28th January 2008.
The week will include events, interviews, webchats and activities throughout the country - all designed to show the real-life benefits of Apprenticeships.

The week's key event will be the Apprenticeships Summit, to be held at the Congress Centre in London's West End, on Tuesday 26th February.

A number of high-profile guests will be there to talk about the recently-published Apprenticeships Review and to outline the Government's aspirations for the Apprenticeship programme.
If you would like to attend, please go to sheltonfleming.co.uk/apprenticeshipsummit2008 for registration details or call 020 7407 6656.
Later in the week, the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) will co-host an event with SkillsActive to pay tribute to the success of the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence.
Many of these talented sportsmen and women have been invited along to talk about the impact their Apprenticeship has had on them and to encourage and inspire others who are considering this route.

Meanwhile a number of employers will be using Apprenticeship Week to explain why Apprenticeships have such a vital role to play in today's world. They include BT, the winner of last year's Large Employer of the Year award at the Apprenticeship Awards, who will be hosting a seminar to promote the benefits of Apprenticeships to their supplier companies.

The LSC is encouraging everyone involved in the Apprenticeship programme to get involved so if you are planning an event to mark Apprenticeship Week, please let us know via the helpline 020 7413 3400 or email us at skillscampaign@lsc.gov.uk.
