Celebrating National Apprenticeship Week 2025
In honour of National Apprenticeship Week 2025, we are proud to present three specially commissioned videos that celebrate our commitment to fostering skills for life. These videos showcase how our apprenticeship programmes equip individuals, organisations and communities with the skills needed to thrive and make a lasting impact.
1: Fostering skills for good
Showcasing our collaboration with employer partner, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, to develop competent and highly skilled professionals like Lucy, who excel in their roles and make a positive impact on the communities we serve.
2: Enhancing skills in our own community
Showcasing our commitment to developing the skills of our own staff through apprenticeships with Dominic and Amanda, which contributes to the success of our students, colleagues and wider services.
3: Building clinical skills for the future
Demonstrating how we support our apprentices like Kamaljeet in gaining critical, hands-on clinical skills, empowering them to make a difference in the healthcare sector and beyond.
