Discover Everything You Need to Understand, Plan and Get Started with Apprenticeships
National Apprenticeship Week (9–15 February 2026) is a national, government-backed campaign celebrating the positive impact apprenticeships and skills have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy. The 2026 theme is Skills for Life, highlighting how apprenticeships help individuals gain the knowledge, skills, behaviours and experience they need for long-term careers, while helping employers build a resilient, future-ready workforce.
National Apprenticeship Week is the perfect time to explore how apprenticeships can strengthen your business by developing new talent, upskilling existing staff and building a future-ready workforce.
At CQM Training & Consultancy, we’ve supported hundreds of employers in unlocking the full potential of apprenticeships, from initial planning through to measurable business impact. Whether you’re new to apprenticeships or ready to expand your current programme, getting started doesn’t have to be complicated.
To help you take the first step, we’ve created our “Getting Started with Apprenticeships Guide”, packed with practical advice, funding information and details about our apprenticeship programmes.
This guide is designed to help you understand how apprenticeships work in practice, the options available and how to align them with your business goals.
