National Apprenticeship Awards 2024

The National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards marked their 21st anniversary on the 27th November 2024. Apprentices, T Level students, employers and skills champions from across the country were recognised for their outstanding accomplishments.

Hosted by broadcaster and celebrity, Steph McGovern, the awards recognised and celebrated the incredible achievements of individuals and employers from across England. There were special appearances from Baroness Jacqui Smith, Minister for Skills and also Bridget Phillipson MP, Secretary of State for Education.

Steph McGovern kicked off the awards, entertaining the audience with stories from her past. Steph shared her passion for apprenticeships, explaining how she had started her working life as an Engineering apprentice working with Black and Decker, right through to when she once interviewed Donald Trump!

The glittering night was a fitting way to celebrate and recognise the significant achievements of all finalists, who had competed with thousands of applicants to reach the regional and national finals. Hosted at the prestigious Royal Lancaster hotel in London, the audience was packed with apprentices, family members, colleagues and key representatives from the skills sector, all enthusiastically cheering the finalists on.

Anna Morrison, Founder of Amazing Apprenticeships added:

“The annual Apprenticeship & Skills Awards are a key moment in the apprenticeship calendar. A chance to us to recognise and celebrate the achievements of apprentices, employers and those that support the wider skills system. Huge congratulations to all nominees, finalists and winners.”
