CRC sponsors top apprenticeship awards

Cambridge Regional College took a leading role in celebrating the best of apprenticeships when it sponsored a top regional awards competition marking the achievements of apprentices and their employers.

The 2017 East of England Apprenticeship Awards, part of the prestigious national Apprenticeship Awards, honoured the success of apprentices in the workplace and the support of their employers in an event which attracted businesses from across the region.

The college, which works with hundreds of employers locally, regionally and nationally, was the title sponsor of the awards, which took place in Newmarket. The top apprentices and employers will go forward to the national awards, due to take place in London next year.

The regional awards were presented at a gala lunch at Newmarket racecourse, with the winners of the awards – which include small employer of the year and apprenticeship champion – being unveiled on the day.

Angela Hughes, head of apprenticeship programmes at CRC, said the college was honoured to sponsor the awards.

“This event is one of the highlights of the business calendar and helps put apprenticeships centre stage. As a leading apprenticeship provider, we are delighted to be supporting the country’s leading awards event for apprentices,” she said.
