The shortlist for the Asian Apprenticeship Awards is out! Some of the awards include Engineering and Manufacturing, Construction Employer & Apprentice and the highly coveted Apprentice of the Year.
The aim of the awards is to “showcase the range of talent and hard work within the BME.” Safaraz Ali, the found of the event, says:
“I’m delighted to be leading on this event for such a worthwhile cause…I believe our efforts will help towards the government’s 3 million apprenticeship targets as well as the BME 2020 plan, particularly in increasing awareness and thereby contributing to an increase in the proportion of apprenticeships taken up by young people from BME backgrounds towards the 20% target.”
Good luck to all the finalists!
