Apprentice of the Year Competition 2008

Danielle Gowrie - Total People Apprentice of the Year 2007In order to celebrate the success of our learners and to recognise the support of local businesses, Total People is once again launching the annual Apprentice of the Year competition.

The awards provide an opportunity to showcase and reward outstanding achievements, dedication and commitment in the work-based learning environment.

Below are the details of the Award Categories and Entry Criteria.

If you feel that your apprentice(s) reaches the required standard, then application forms are available from your Training Adviser. Alternatively, click here to download a copy.

You should then complete the ‘Employer Comments’ section of the application form, ask your apprentice to write their comments, and return or email the form to your Training Adviser.
