This week (3-7 March) is National Apprenticeship Week – a great chance to celebrate the UK’s apprentices and how important they are to society. 

 

The IET continues to champion apprentices and support companies in approving apprenticeships for professional registration.  In the last year a number of initiatives have helped boost the profile of apprentices and apprenticeships.



Read more about how the IET supports and promotes apprentices and apprenticeships.



In addition to the on-going work the IET do to support apprentices an IET led electrotechnical trailblazer apprenticeship standard has received Government approval and been launched during National Apprenticeship week. 

 

Read more about the Trailblazer initiative and how the IET is working with employers to increase the standard of apprentices and provide routes to professional registration as part of their continuing professional development.
