Peterborough Apprenticeship Awards 2023: Deadline looms to submit entries for showcase of best in business

​The deadline is looming to get those entries in for the Peterborough Apprenticeship Awards 2023.

​There are 14 categories to chose from at this year’s awards which culminate in a special presentation evening in the autumn.

The deadline for entries is August 3.

The awards seek to ensure apprentices, mentors and firms are given the recognition they truly deserve after some of the toughest years faced by businesses.

Nominations for any of the 14 categories can be submitted by the apprentice themselves, their employer, college or training provider or even by proud loved ones.

There are also categories for employers and mentors, so businesses can nominate their own teams and trainers.

Kirstie White, Talent and Development Director for the awards’ headline sponsor, Compare the Market, said: “Apprenticeships in the UK provide a perfect balance of hands-on learning and professional growth.

"Through apprenticeships we unlock opportunities for individuals from a wealth of diverse backgrounds to acquire invaluable skills, forge lasting connections and build solid foundations for a bright future.”

The presentation will be held in the Holiday Inn, Thorpe Wood, on September 14.
