Judging criteria

The awards will showcase and celebrate the achievements of those learners who have exceeded expectations and shown a dynamic approach to training. They will also have demonstrated initiative and enterprise, innovation and creativity, and shown an understanding of, and commitment to, the improvement of skills development.

Entries should demonstrate one or more of the following:

• Proven commitment by an apprentice to continued personal development
• An apprentice who has contributed significantly to the business and provided added value
• An apprentice who has demonstrated a high level of skills and/or has contributed significantly to the sector within which they work
• Evidence of commitment and ambition to succeed in their chosen field

Apprentices should currently be on a programme or have completed a formal apprenticeship within the past 2 years. The judges may require sight of certificates which will be requested where appropriate.
