The Apprenticeship & Training Awards
At the heart of the evening are the Apprenticeship & Training Awards – the national awards programme recognising excellence across the UK's apprenticeship and skills sector.
The ATAs celebrate the innovation, dedication and outstanding contributions of the employers, providers and individuals driving forward apprenticeships and workforce development across the country. From large national employers to specialist training providers and individual champions of the sector, the awards shine a light on the very best the sector has to offer.
Award categories and entry details for 2027 will be announced shortly.
