t Shine a light on logistics during National Apprenticeship Week
National Apprenticeship Week will be celebrated from 6-12 February 2023. The annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships brings together the entire apprenticeship community to celebrate everything that is amazing about careers developed through this pathway. Carl Hobbis, BIFA executive director, said: “We encourage Members to shine a light on the logistics industry, highlighting the positive difference that apprenticeships can make to individuals, businesses and the wider economy. “The week will also be an opportunity for Members of all sizes to showcase their businesses within their local community and promote the logistics sector and the vital work we do. “All schools and colleges will have ‘ready-made’ careers events planned and all they need are local businesses to get involved. Employer engagement is the one thing schools and colleges need help with, no matter the size of your organisation.” For ideas and tips on engaging with local schools and colleges, download the BIFA guide Helping Recruit the Next Generation via the QR Code:
