National Apprenticeship Week 2025 #NAW2025 has officially begun, and we were honoured to attend the opening event alongside key industry and government leaders, including Lee Marley Group, Berkeley Group Plc, the Secretary of State for Education, and the DfE Director of Apprenticeships.

At South Bank Colleges, we take great pride in the success of our apprentices, many of whom are gaining invaluable experience working with leading companies such as Lee Marley Brickwork and Berkeley Homes. Apprenticeships offer a unique opportunity for learners to develop essential skills, earn while they learn, and pave the way for rewarding careers in their chosen industries.

The opening of NAW2025 highlighted the ongoing commitment from government, industry, and education providers to support and celebrate apprenticeships. By fostering collaboration between these sectors, we are ensuring that apprentices continue to receive the training, experience, and opportunities they need to thrive.

As the week unfolds, we look forward to celebrating the achievements of our apprentices, sharing their success stories, and encouraging more learners to explore the benefits of an apprenticeship pathway.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout National Apprenticeship Week as we continue to champion the future workforce!
