Local Government Apprentice of the Year
Apprentices bring fresh ideas, new skills and plenty of enthusiasm to local government – and it’s time to celebrate the difference they are already making.
The Local Government Apprentice of the Year event is an opportunity to recognise the achievements, commitment and contribution of apprentices from across the South West.
Join us for an inspiring event celebrating the talented individuals who are learning, developing and building their careers while making a real contribution to their councils and communities.
An opportunity to celebrate
From taking on new responsibilities and developing specialist skills to overcoming challenges and making a difference in their workplace, local government apprentices are achieving some fantastic things.
This event provides an opportunity to shine a spotlight on those achievements and celebrate the people behind them.
