Celebrating 13 Years of National Apprenticeship Week

The 2020 National Apprenticeship Week, now in its thirteenth year, took place from 3 to 9 February. At Ringley, we strongly support apprenticeships and believe in providing training opportunities for young people. During the week, we shared blogs showcasing how we help young people gain insight into the property industry and celebrated staff members who started their careers through Ringley apprenticeships.

Highlights from National Apprenticeship Week 2020

Across the country, more than 900 events were held, celebrating the diversity of apprenticeships. Key highlights included:

• New Mumsnet research revealing parental misconceptions about apprenticeships.
• Social media buzz, with #NAW2020 trending No. 1 in the UK on launch day.
• #AskAnApprentice and #AskAnEmployer Q&As, engaging employers and individuals.

How Ringley Got Involved

At Ringley, we actively participated in National Apprenticeship Week. One of our main events was hosting a class of local school children, who took their IT lesson at Ringley, learning how to upgrade old computers.

Giving Back to the Community

As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we allocated 10 computers to be gifted to underprivileged children—a much better outcome than seeing PCs from city office clearances discarded into skips.

Expanding Our Apprenticeship Opportunities

During the week, we also:

• Announced a new digital marketing apprenticeship in our London office.
• Spent time reviewing dissertations with our Master’s apprentices.

We are dedicated to creating opportunities for young people and love seeing them go on to build successful careers in our sector.
