Scottish Apprenticeship Awards 2018

Now in its 17th year, the Scottish Apprenticeship Awards brings together apprentices, employers and training providers from all over Scotland to celebrate the contribution apprenticeships make to the economy.  

The outstanding work of apprentice instructors will be recognised for the first time at this year’s awards. Their contribution will be commended alongside a number of new award categories, including the opportunity to recognise the nation’s first Graduate Apprentices.

As well as recognising the achievements of the apprentices themselves, awards will applaud individuals who champion apprenticeships. 

Employers of all sizes will also be awarded, including those who can demonstrate diversity in their recruitment of apprentices.  

Winners will be revealed at a ceremony on 15 November at Perth Concert Hall. One will be named Scotland’s Apprentice of the Year 2018.

• Apprentice Ambassador of the Year
