Entries open for Dorset Apprenticeship Awards
Local employers have until 30 March to nominate trainees for these awards with an award ceremony to be held on 15 May.
Local employers are being urged to nominate their star trainees for the Dorset Apprenticeship Awards with the deadline being 30 March.
Dorset Chamber has joined forces with the Dorset and Somerset Training Provider Network (DSTPN) with sponsorship from manufacturing firm Superior.
Entries have opened in five categories – including for a newly created Supported Internships award.
Dorset Chamber has invited nominations from members and non-members for the annual competition.
The categories are:
- Level 2 (Intermediate) Apprentice of the Year
- Level 3 (Advanced) Apprentice of the Year
- Level 4 or 5 Higher Apprentice of the Year
- Degree Apprentice of the Year
- Supported Internship of the Year
The awards ceremony will take place at Superior in Ferndown with HM Lord Lieutenant of Dorset on 15 May.
Dorset Chamber chief executive Ian Girling said: “Apprentices are a fantastic way to both recruit and train people, and they make an invaluable contribution to the organisations they work for.
“Our awards seek to give some richly deserved recognition for all apprentices and highlight the achievements of those individuals who have gone above and beyond.”
Last year’s winners included Intermediate Apprentice of the Year Sergejs Murnikovs from the Hendy Group, Advanced Apprentice of the Year Ellie Hubble from the Redtale Group, and Higher and Degree Apprentice of the Year Elliott Smith from Draken.
Tim Brown, managing director of Superior, said: “The commitment, quality and talent of award entrants never fails to impress.
“We are proud to once again sponsor the competition and help shine a light on the unsung heroes of our apprenticeship community in Dorset.”
Entrants must be undertaking an apprenticeship programme or have completed a programme within the last twelve months.
They should be Dorset residents and working in Dorset although their employer may be based outside of Dorset.
