National Apprenticeship Week 2026
National Apprenticeship Week 2026 takes place between 9 and 15 February and the theme this year is 'Skills for Life.'
It’s a chance to celebrate apprentices and the brilliant work being done by schools, the FE sector and employers across the country to promote the huge benefits of apprenticeships.
Apprenticeships offer people of all ages and backgrounds a high-quality route to skilled employment with the option to train at every level in a range of exciting professions like aerospace engineering, data science, teaching, law, nursing, and fashion.
