We’ve been out and about during National Apprenticeship Week (10 – 16th Feb) to recognise our top apprentices and the employers who are championing them.
We took our Edge Awards out on the road, travelling across the region to surprise apprentices and employers at their places of work.
In total 19 apprentices and employers picked up awards across a wide range of curriculum areas including business, digital technology, catering, construction, hairdressing and automotive.
Ellen Robson from Renovo Solutions scooped the top accolade of Outstanding Apprentice of the Year after impressing the judging panel with effort, adaptability, leadership and communication skills which make her an exceptional apprentice and a future leader in engineering.
David Alexander, Principal and CEO, said: “The Edge Awards for Apprenticeships are a brilliant way to showcase the exceptional efforts of our apprentices and their employers. This week has been fantastic. Surprising the winners and presenting the Edge Awards is a real highlight of my year.
“The calibre of nominations was exceptional, and everyone who received an award should feel immensely proud of their accomplishments.”
Gateshead College trains more than 1,000 apprentices, who are mostly based in the North East, but we also train apprentices throughout the UK including in London, York and Manchester.
