When is National Apprenticeship Week 2026?
The biggest annual apprenticeships event is nearly here — save the date!
On 9th to 15th of February 2026, hundreds of employers, apprentices, colleges and more will come together to celebrate the value of apprenticeships for National Apprenticeship Week. This is the 19th annual event and it promises to be the biggest and best event yet!
What’s on?
With over 1,200 virtual and in-person events targeted at a range of audiences, NAW 2026 will showcase the many business benefits of employing apprentices, shine a light on the positive differences that apprenticeships can make to individuals and aim to bring the apprenticeship community together.
NAW 2026 will be a celebration of the outstanding work that apprentices do and you’ll get to hear stories from current apprentices about their experiences, which will help you make your own choices as you move into higher education.
Who’s attending?
NAW 2026 will be a fantastic way for training providers, apprentices, parents and employers to collaborate and learn about the importance of apprenticeships and how they can get involved.
You’ll have the opportunity to network with businesses such as Amazon, Bentley, Severn Trent, Bloomberg, IBM and more as they share why apprenticeships are so valuable to their businesses. Other confirmed attendees include the NHS, the Department of Justice and the Armed Forces — giving you the chance to hear about the types of apprenticeships on offer across a multitude of industries.
