Who will be Next to Shape the Future of the East Midlands?

New research released today marks the launch of the sixth annual Apprenticeship Awards and reveals just how critical the contribution of apprentices are to the buildings, roads and railways that form the fabric of the country.

Commissioned by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the study demonstrates the breadth of renowned names from esteemed architects to celebrated designers, for whom an Apprenticeship was the start of a highly celebrated career.

David Gloster, head of education at RIBA, who helped conduct the research, says: “Apprentices as a whole have significantly added structural beauty to the UK, and in the process, helped influence future generations of architects, builders and designers. Without the likes of John Nash or Charles Barry, the UK wouldn’t look like it does today.”

The search is on to find the East Midlands’top apprentices and employers and the regional awards will culminate with a celebration event, as hundreds of apprentices, employers and training providers head to the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham on 2nd June 2009 for the largest regional celebration of apprentices, employers and learning providers involved in vocational learning......READ THE FULL PRESS RELEASE
