National Apprenticeship Week looks at celebrating the opportunities for apprenticeship programmes, as well as the benefits apprenticeships have for employers.

This year, the week takes place from 8-14 February and has the theme ‘Build the Future’, encouraging participants to share their stories of skills development and career progression, as well as demonstrating the business benefits of having an apprenticeship programme and building a workforce ready for the future.

The week also looks at the diversity in the roles available for apprenticeships, highlighting that they are open for people of all ages, not just school leavers and will bring together apprenticeship ambassadors, MPs, training providers, apprentices, parents and employers.

Audit Wales will be taking part in the week-long celebration to recognise the hard work of our apprentices and the value they bring to our organisation. You can hear all about the experiences of our apprentices through a series of articles, a podcast episode and testimonials.

We will also be live on twitter on Tuesday 9 February 12-2pm to answer your questions on apprenticeship opportunities and how apprenticeships can help organisations. Please tweet us on the day using #AskAnEmployer.
