About National Apprenticeship Week 2022 (#NAW2022)

National Apprenticeship Week 2022 will take place across the country w/c Monday 7th February. The aim is to celebrate apprenticeships and their impact on people and the economy.

To make local contribution to this campaign, GMCA's Meet Your Future will be coordinating a series of virtual events with many of our partner organisations. We want to celebrate apprenticeships past and current through this programme of virtual content and social media campaigns.

The week is a chance to celebrate our Greater Manchester apprentices, employers, and training providers, and promote apprenticeships to build a better future for the city-region.

The Theme – ‘Build The Future’

The theme for National Apprenticeship Week 2022 will be 'build the future'; reflecting on how apprenticeships can help individuals to develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career, and businesses to develop a talented workforce that is equipped with future-ready skills.

We also want to hear the motivating stories of how apprentices in Greater Manchester have helped business adapt and build during a difficult year.
