For over 40 years now, Central YMCA has successfully trained thousands of learners every year and seen them go on to build rewarding and fulfilling #careers. Find out more about our #apprenticeship programme at ymca.co.uk/education-trai… #NAW2022

The YMCA movement was founded by #apprentice George Williams so apprenticeships are at the very core of what we believe in and for over 177 years we have been transforming lives by breaking down barriers to life-changing opportunities #NAW2022 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek

Meet Christina: “Completing the course has made a massive difference and changed my life. I now meet and greet parents and am confident to do so. I am confident to do anything required of me now and every day is different.” #NAW2022 #BuildTheFuture

Congratulations to National Apprentice Week for an incredible 15 years of highlighting why #apprenticeships are amazing. This year #NAW2022 is celebrating it’s 15th year and it is all about #buildingthefuture.

We are excited to hold our #ApprenticeshipAwards this evening at the House of Commons, hosted by Caroline Nokes MP and sponsored by Sanctuary Cognassist. Tonight MPs, learners, parents and employers will come together to celebrate this year’s most inspiring achievements.

A huge thank you to Ed Miliband for your support: “The most important thing tonight is Billy’s determination to succeed, and Central YMCAs central role in helping him to succeed. That is YMCA in action – making brilliant young people like Billy possible.” ow.ly/C90e50IcOwN
