The Apprenticeship Ambassador Network
If you are an employer with an Apprenticeship programme you can join the Apprenticeship Ambassador Network, where you can connect with experienced apprenticeship employers, to network, share knowledge and best practice and attend events including those at schools and colleges.
The AAN’s remit is to inspire, excite, and galvanise greater numbers of employers and individuals to connect with apprenticeships.
The Apprenticeship Diversity Champions Network
The Apprenticeship Diversity Champions Network (ADCN) is a group of employers who champion diversity and inclusion in apprenticeships. They showcase the positive impact of apprenticeships for people and organisations from underrepresented groups.
