Launching a new chapter in apprenticeship education

Last week we had a great time celebrating the achievements of our apprentices and employers at The NCL Apprenticeship Awards! 

Congratulations to all 20 apprentices who received an award from across 17 employers. It was incredible to see each individual being recognised for their hard work. We also extend our heartfelt congratulations to Direct Line Group Glasgow and VWS Ltd for being awarded Employer of the Year. This is a well deserved win for their ongoing support of apprentices and their commitment to developing future talent!

We also officially launched the Lanarkshire Institute of Apprenticeships, showcasing our ambition to become the leading provider of high-quality apprenticeships in the region and beyond.

The initiative aims to support apprentices throughout their education and long-term career development by creating a comprehensive ecosystem for professional growth, giving skills for life as well as for trade.  It will also feature an Alumni Network, designed to connect current and former apprentices with industry professionals.
