What does an apprenticeship ambassador do?
They undertake their ambassador role on a voluntary basis by supporting and influencing a range of key stakeholders. These stakeholders include schools, colleges, local enterprise partnerships, employers and their supply chains, trade associations and employment bodies. They champion and support marketing, publicity and events to raise awareness of apprenticeships and mentor other ambassadors.
