Subject: Entries are now open for Apprenticeship Awards 2011

	Entries are now open for the
	National Apprenticeship Awards 2011
	The Awards, hosted by the National Apprenticeship Service, are the most prestigious event in the Apprenticeship calendar and celebrate the success of the country’s top apprentices and their employers. As an Apprenticeship provider please encourage and support the apprentices and employers you work with to enter this year’s awards. This is a unique opportunity for them, with Award winners receiving regional and national recognition for all their hard work and achievements through Apprenticeships. Last year we had a fantastic response from providers who worked with their employers and apprentices to generate a record number of entries and we hope this year we can do even better. New for 2011 As part of the 2011 Apprenticeship Awards, we will be working with City and Guilds to honour England’s best Apprenticeship employers. All employers who enter the awards will be eligible and those judged to be the very best of the best will be recognised and published as a Top 100 Apprenticeship employer. Please ensure your employers and apprentices go to apprenticeships.org.uk/awards now to find out more and enter on-line. We are creating two e-shots to promote the Awards to employers and to apprentices and these will be available on our website shortly, along with other promotional materials.
