Apprentice Leaders

The Apprentices Leader role is ideal for those apprentices eager to enhance their learning experiences and develop leadership skills. It’s for those committed to driving meaningful change in training and support services, ready to invest 18 months and around 10 days away from work for industry events.

Apprentice Leaders amplify the apprentice voice, ensuring learning and development remain a priority. Their personal experiences drive transformation, challenging the status quo.

Direct involvement allows us to address these challenges, improve training quality, and strengthen the industry. For Apprentice Leaders, it’s an opportunity to build their leadership skills through activities such as the outward-bound programme and participation in industry events.

For employers, apprentice leaders in your business will gain new skills and knowledge which will add value, improve day-to-day work activities, and help grow new leaders in your workplace.
