National Apprenticeship Festival

9th - 15th February 2026

We are celebrating National Apprenticeship Week,
It all starts with skills

National Apprenticeship Festival is back.

The 19th annual, week-long celebration brings together the entire Apprenticeship community to highlight Apprenticeships' positive impact on individuals, businesses and the broader economy.

Centred around the theme “Skills for Life,” this year celebrates how Apprenticeships enable individuals to gain the knowledge and experience needed for rewarding careers, while helping businesses develop a skilled, future-ready workforce.

What's Happening

If you are an employer, potential apprentice, parent/carer or just want to know more, our Apprenticeship Festival is just the thing for you.

The Loughborough College Group Apprenticeship Festival will run over a week and is designed to celebrate Apprentices and recognise their dedication and achievements. The Festival will feature a range of in-person and online events to highlight the opportunities and programmes available and the positive impact of Apprenticeships.

Watch this space!

We will add the full NAW event timetable when we get closer to the Apprenticeship Festival.
