Announcing the winners of the APSE National Apprentice of the Year Awards 2025
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who submitted an application to this year's awards, with over 50 entries! The awards were announced Thursday 6 March 2025 in Glasgow at the APSE Building and Housing Seminar.
The aim of the Apprentice Awards, which will be open to every Council across the UK, is not only to give recognition to our future tradespersons/ professionals, but also to the Councils themselves who continue to invest in and provide first class training / employment initiatives in bone-fide Apprenticeship schemes which given the current economic conditions is increasingly important and needs to be encouraged.
The Awards scheme is open to all recognised apprenticeships within the areas of Building and Housing including Trade and non-trade/professional and to apprentices from all stages of training (1st year to 4th year).
