AWE wins regional National Apprenticeship Award

We are delighted to announce that AWE’s Skills Academy has been named as Macro Employer of the Year winner for the South East region at this year’s National Apprenticeship Awards. It is a further accolade for AWE’s highly regarded apprenticeship scheme this year.

The National Apprenticeship Awards highlight business and individual success in apprenticeships and celebrate the very best employers, apprentices and apprenticeship champions across the country.

During 2020 the Institute of Physics presented AWE with the Apprenticeship Employer Award in recognition of its commitment and contribution to scientific and engineering apprenticeship schemes. This was in addition to AWE being named as one of the Top 100 employers by RateMyApprenticeship – a review-based platform to help those seeking apprenticeships.

Commenting on this year’s success, Marcus Hutchings, AWE’s Skills Academy said: “This regional award rounds off a great year for the Skills Academy and our apprenticeship scheme. It’s great to be recognised for our expertise and the amazing effort put in by our staff and apprentices.

“It particularly means a lot to receive these awards during what has been a difficult year, due to the impact of the pandemic. Our team has very much risen to the challenges of ensuring that our apprenticeships can continue in a Covid-secure environment.”

Currently AWE is recruiting for its next cohort of apprenticeships for 2021. On offer are a wide range of apprenticeships which cover all areas of AWE’s business. Further details can be found in the careers section of its website: /careers/future-careers
