We are very excited to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week (10th-17th February), recognising and highlighting the young individuals who, through their efforts and commitment, embody the future of the sports education sector.
Over the next seven weeks, we're highlighting the passion, dedication, resilience, and potential exhibited by our apprentices and their employers. Find out more about how we’re celebrating National Apprenticeship Week.
Our apprentices are not just young coaches in training; they inspire young people to become physically active on a daily basis. Their apprenticeship standards customise learning to develop relevant skills and knowledge. This ensures that, regardless of age, background, or past experiences, learning continues. Their journey in learning and adapting to the ever-changing world of sports education is genuinely inspiring and deserves celebration.
This year, we celebrate 'Apprentice of the Year' and 'Apprentice with Promise.'
We are excited to announce the return of the 'Apprentice of the Year' and 'Apprentice with Promise' awards as part of our celebrations. These awards recognise apprentices who have demonstrated exceptional talent, growth, potential, and commitment throughout their journey with us.
💫 'Apprentice of the Year': This award recognises an apprentice who has either completed or nearly finished their apprenticeship and has shown exceptional effort, determination, and improvement in their sports coaching journey.
💫 'Apprentice with Promise': This award highlights a promising apprentice who has shown substantial potential for growth and has already made significant strides in their apprenticeship path.
