The Apprenticeship Guide Awards 2026 brought together a record-breaking number of attendees this year, celebrating excellence in UK apprenticeships.<\/p>\n

We were really proud to attend as finalists for Best University for Apprenticeships, representing the University of Kent alongside so many brilliant organisations.<\/p>\n

It was a great evening and a chance to step away from the day-to-day and take in the bigger picture, seeing the people, partnerships and programmes that are making a real difference to learners and employers across the country.<\/p>\n

We also had a lovely moment catching up with one of our employer partners, Catapult, who were nominated for an award too. It\u2019s always great to see our partners recognised in this way!<\/p>\n

Being a finalist was a significant achievement in itself and reflects the work of everyone involved in our apprenticeship programmes. For over a decade, the University of Kent has been delivering high-quality provision, working with both national and regional organisations to support learners in developing their skills and progressing in their careers.<\/p>\n

While we didn\u2019t come away with the award this time, we left feeling proud to be recognised and inspired by what\u2019s happening across the sector.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all of this year\u2019s winners and finalists, and thank you to the organisers for hosting such a memorable evening.<\/p>\n
