About the competition
We launched the competition this year to find and recognise the best apprentices currently working within the UK manufacturing industry. The purpose of this competition was to reward current apprentices who are excelling in their role and promote apprenticeships to companies in the UK manufacturing sector.
As is often reported, there is a large skills gap in the UK as found through our client base, as the biggest problem they (UK manufacturers) face is recruiting skilled staff. Often companies spend 3/4 years training apprentices only for them to move on soon after the completion of their training. The competition rewarding apprentices, after being nominated by the line manager, will give them the recognition they deserve.
At present we don’t have contact with schools / training programmes etc so are unable to promote to ‘youngsters’ in the country. However with our social media connections and contacts we are able to broadcast the competition to a good number of UK manufacturers, however we would like to reach out to many more.
