Changing Perceptions & Busting Myths.

The NI Apprenticeship Awards are closing for nominations tomorrow, Friday 29 October 2021. The awards recognise Apprentices who are making a significant contribution in their workplace and have shown a dedication to excel in their professional development and learning influential partnerships between employers and training providers that support the continuous growth of Skills Development in Northern Ireland.

Our Training Support Services team supports disabled people on the Apprenticeship NI programme and in our experience employing an apprentice with a disability is positive for both the Employer and Apprentice.
