From education to employment

National Apprenticeship Awards 2013 winners

Winners of the National Apprenticeship Awards 2013 were celebrating last night at an event joined by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.

Five companies, three apprentices and one former apprentice beat competition from more than 1,600 entrants to take home top prizes in the ceremony now in its tenth year.

Mr Clegg said: “To lock in our economic recovery we need a new generation of talent entering the world of work and I am committed to making sure young people today get the opportunities they need to realise their full potential.

“Since 2010, we have created a million and a half new apprenticeships but none of that would have been possible without events like this and the support of businesses who go that extra mile to help our apprentices progress. I was delighted to be able to meet so many of our young apprentices and businesses from across England at the Apprenticeship Awards tonight – it is the drive and ambition that we celebrated here that will, in the years ahead, help our country and its people thrive.”
