Celebrating success

The success stories of our region were celebrated at the Ladder for the Black Country Apprenticeship Awards, delivered with our media partner the Express & Star and headline sponsor Wolverhampton City Council to honour the very best.

With 11 category awards up for grabs, the awards are a celebration of the best and brightest young and mature learners and those organisations who are finding new ways to drive aspiration and education through their apprenticeship programmes.

The Ladder for the Black Country offers a collaborative, joined-up approach to improving skills and enrichment opportunities for all, particularly for the young and disadvantaged. We link up employers, training providers and candidates to give all the best chance of success in upskilling and employment.
