Need More Reasons to Sponsor...?
​​
Our sponsors make it possible for apprentices to enjoy their graduation free with no extra costs, plus free gowning and photography! Be part of this fantastic event in 2025 and show your support for future generations.
​
The ceremony will bring together apprentices, friends and family, employers, providers, key stakeholders and VIPs from across the county, even nationally, to collectively celebrate the apprentices’ success.
The event will help encourage more individuals to consider apprenticeships as a valued pathway to a rewarding career and more employers to enhance their businesses by adding apprentices to the workforce. Parents, family members and friends will also be able to watch the event but also be recorded and available for post event sharing.
​
Harnessing the combined power of partner marketing platforms, your organisation will benefit from extensive promotion on websites, emails, social media and direct marketing. Your brand will be at the forefront of the ceremony from our digital launch in February/March during National Apprenticeship Week, right up to the event and to the end of the year.
