Celebrating National Apprenticeship Week 2026

Join us in championing apprenticeships and the vital role they play in the future of our workforce

Apprenticeships are a great route into work at any stage of a career, giving people real on-the-job experience while they learn.

Their benefits are wide-ranging for apprentices, employers and economies alike – they support with entry into work, drive productivity, help organisations meet workforce demands, and so much more.

As the leading end-point assessment organisation, with almost 150 years in skills development, at City & Guilds we work with providers and employers to support apprentices for success at every stage of their journey.

This National Apprenticeship Week (9-15 February), discover inspiring apprentice stories, learn about the benefits of apprenticeships, and find out how we can support you.

Whether you're an apprentice or exploring apprenticeship opportunities, or an employer or provider delivering apprenticeships, let's celebrate the future of our workforce together.
