Creating new apprenticeships
Working with employers and training providers, we promote the apprenticeship brand while improving skills and employment opportunities across the region.
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.
