The date for the BAME Apprenticeships Awards 2020 in partnership with Pearson Live online event has been announced and while we won’t be together with 500 plus people at the Edgbaston stadium the team at Thinkfest have gone all out creative on bringing the experience to the comfort of your own home.

The online event will be taking place from 6pm on Wednesday 11th November 2020. Delegates for the event will have the opportunity to go into a virtual lobby and network with each other as well being able to have group conversations as they would do at a real live event. The main event proceedings will be broadcast from the BAME Apprenticeship Awards YouTube Channel starting at 7pm sharp with a performance from Aston Performing Arts Academy.

The Live event is being hosted by Tez Ilyas (Comedian and star of BBC hit comedy show Man Like Mobeen) and Remel Remel (award-winning British TV presenter Radio presenter and host of the Saturday Afternoon show on CAPITAL XTRA).
