Peterborough Apprenticeship Awards 2024: Everything you need to know to enter the awards
Fourteen categories up for grabs
The search has begun to find the best apprentices, employers and training providers in and around the city as we launch the Peterborough Telegraph Apprenticeship Awards 2024.
The fifth annual Peterborough Telegraph Apprenticeship Awards are being held in collaboration with Inspire Education Group, our headline sponsor, and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, our associate sponsor, as well as with support from regional businesses.
The awards will highlight the value of apprenticeship schemes and showcase the achievements of apprentices as well as the invaluable support from their employers, mentors and training providers.
Apprenticeships provide a unique approach to education, training and career development.
The hands-on learning experience, coupled with the opportunity to earn while you learn, makes apprenticeships a dynamic pathway for individuals exploring diverse industries, from traditional trades to cutting-edge fields like technology and healthcare.
The programme often serves as a gateway to full-time employment in industries that apprentices may not have previously considered, as highlighted by many of our finalists who shared inspiring insights into the transformative impact of apprenticeships on both the apprentice and the employer.
And completing an apprenticeship frequently leads to industry-recognised certifications, enhancing individuals' credibility and employability and facilitating smoother transitions into different roles or advancements within their chosen fields.
Paul Grinnell, business editor for the Peterborough Telegraph, said: “We’re proud of the amazing businesses in and around Peterborough and we want to honour them and their up and coming talent.
"We’re looking for nominations from traditional apprentice sectors, modern apprentices, graduate apprentices, training providers and firms who know that their apprentice mentoring team is one of the best.”
This year’s awards feature 14 carefully crafted categories and nominations can be made by apprentices, employers, colleges, training providers, and proud loved ones.
Specific categories are dedicated to employers and mentors, allowing businesses to showcase their teams and trainers.
