Welcome to Engage Welcome to the National Apprenticeship Week 2023 Edition of Engage. Every year we look forward to National Apprenticeship Week as it gives us an opportunity to bring our apprentices, employers and staff together to highlight the significant impact Apprenticeships make to our learners, businesses, our communities and the wider economy. More so than ever, Apprenticeships have a vital role in contributing to the success of the UK’s economy, as it seeks to build back better following the Covid-19 pandemic. This year’s theme is deservingly ‘skills for life’ and is something which we feel strongly about at the Heart of Yorkshire Education Group. Through our Apprenticeship schemes and wider curriculum, our aim is to offer the right skills for now and the future, ensuring that our learners have the valuable, transferable skills sought by employers – ultimately enabling them to move into meaningful careers. There’s lots to shout about this National Apprenticeship Week, with a range of activities going on across our three campuses to raise awareness of Apprenticeships and how they can

transform lives. We will also be taking part in a number of Apprenticeship fairs across the region where we look forward to engaging with prospective apprentices, schools and businesses. We’re also looking forward to celebrating the success of both our existing and former apprentices and the businesses who contribute to the success of our Apprenticeship scheme at our Annual Apprenticeship Awards, which will take place on Thursday 9th February. I hope that you enjoy reading this edition of Engage which acknowledges the achievements of our amazing apprentices, apprenticeship providers and apprenticeship team.
