Build the Futureis the theme for the 2021 National Apprenticeship Week (NAW), which will take place between 8 – 14 February 2021. NAW aims to encourage everyone to consider how apprenticeships can help individuals to build the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career.

The annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships, now in its fourteenth year, takes pleace across England and will showcase the impact apprenticeships can have on communities, local businesses and regional economies and how they all benefit from the impact of apprenticeships.

To support National Apprenticeship Week 2021, individuals, employers, training providers and communities are being encouraged to get involved, to celebrate apprenticeships and how they:

TRAIN apprentices, and future proof their workforce and careers though apprenticeships;
RETAIN apprentices, gaining the skills and knowledge needed by the business, and seeing apprentices thrive, whilst having impact;
ACHIEVE a real return on investment from apprentices; realising the business benefits of apprenticeships, with apprentices progressing in their chosen careers.

A toolkit is available now to support the apprenticeship community with planning their activity for National Apprenticeship Week 2021.
