National Apprenticeship Week 3-9 February 2020

The theme for National Apprenticeship Week 2020 is “Look Beyond” – encouraging everyone to look beyond outdated stereotypes surrounding apprenticeships and to celebrate the diversity of opportunity and value that they bring.

The Government have produced an Employer Supporter Toolkit to support employers of apprentices to get involved and promote apprenticeships. The Apprenticeship Team will be looking to raise awareness of apprenticeships and raise money for the Lord Mayors charities.

If you would like your apprentices to get involved please contact apprenticeships@coventry.gov.uk please also let us know if your apprentices are undertaking any activities that week that can be used to showcase our apprenticeships both internally and externally.
