The Northwest AAN is a group of committed employers who already employ apprentices and is part of the National Apprenticeship Ambassador Network supported by the Department for Education. They work closely with the combined authorities, sector bodies and local Chambers of Commerce within the region to’ fly the flag’ for apprenticeships.
Ambassadors are passionate about their experiences with apprentices and are keen to promote the apprenticeship route to other employers and potential new apprentices.
Apprenticeships are available for individuals over the age of 16 and are available from Level 2 to level 7 in a range of sectors, combining on the job training with study. Qualifications can be offered to new or current staff members.
