National Apprenticeship Week is a national campaign that highlights apprenticeships and the role they play in developing skills for work.
Apprenticeships combine paid employment with training, giving people the opportunity to gain experience while building skills and qualifications.
Where our college fits?
At Stanmore, National Apprenticeship Week is an opportunity to show how T Levels, BTEC and Vocational qualifications prepare students for employment through learning shaped by employers and real-world experience.
Courses are designed with a focus on progression. We work closely with employers to reflect real working environments, build the skills they value, and help students move confidently into work, further training, apprenticeships, or higher education.
Skills
Skills that matter.
Our courses focus on the skills students need to succeed in the workplace.
This includes communication, teamwork, problem solving, and professional behaviour. These skills are developed through practical learning and real-world experience, not just classroom study.
Learning
Learning shaped by employers.
Employers play an active role in what we do.
They help shape curriculum, support industry placements, and give students insight into what working life is really like. This helps students understand expectations and make informed decisions about their next steps.
T Levels
T Levels & industry placements.
T Levels combine classroom learning with industry placements.
Placements give students experience of real workplaces and a clearer understanding of different roles, sectors, and progression routes.
Progression
Progression & next steps.
Students completing T Levels and BTECs can progress into employment, apprenticeships, higher education, or further training.
The right route depends on the individual, how they prefer to learn, and what they want to do next.
Working with employers
We work with employers who want to play an active role in developing skills and preparing future talent.
Employers contribute and support our students in practical ways. This includes contributing to curriculum design, setting real-world projects, offering industry placements, and sharing insight into current workplace expectations.
This input helps ensure learning stays relevant and grounded in real working environments.
