Celebrating its twentieth year of support for apprentices, the Apprenticeship Guide is proud to present the Apprenticeship Guide Awards 2025: developed to celebrate the employers and training providers who enable their apprentices to flourish.

The categories are designed to cover the full spectrum of apprenticeship sectors, and submissions are judged by an independent panel of experts.

The awards culminate in a black-tie ceremony and dinner, held in Manchester, where the finalists meet, network and celebrate.
