Winners of the Regional Apprenticeships Awards revealed at York College

A Bridlington based Fish and Chip outlet and
eighteen year old customer service apprentice from Otley were amongst the seven winners to pick up top accolades at this year’s Yorkshire and the Humber regional heat of the prestigious National Apprenticeship Awards, held at
York College. Organised by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) the awards celebrate the achievements of apprentices and the businesses that employ them. The winners will go on to represent Yorkshire and the Humber and automatically go through to a judging panel for the National Apprenticeship Awards.

Nick Wilson, Director for the NAS in Yorkshire and the Humber, said: “This year’s awards were a terrific showcase of the outstanding wealth of Apprenticeship talent that we have across Yorkshire and the Humber. Apprenticeships offer young people a training route which combines work-based learning with theory and a recognised qualification, whilst employers experience a range of benefits when hiring an apprentice, including motivated, skilled staff and increased productivity. More than 37,000 people started Apprenticeships in Yorkshire and the Humber last year."
