Celebrations for the Apprenticeship and Placement Awards 2023 - Bridgwater & Taunton College

 

On Thursday 4 May 2023, we hosted our annual Apprenticeship and Placement Awards ceremony at The McMillan Theatre.

The annual awards ceremony brings together our employer partners, T Level students, apprentices, and staff for an evening of celebrations.

Judges had the unenviable task of whittling down the record number of nominations to just 12 award winners to receive recognition for their hard work and contribution to their organisation. Winners were announced by Matt Tudor, Director of Commercial Development, Strategy and Partnerships. Matt said:

The accomplishments achieved by our students are outstanding, making the judging process tough. The opportunities provided by our employer partners are staggering, from working on live construction sites and farms to contributing to the welfare of the most vulnerable in our community, with apprentices supporting the organisations from the outset. The skills gained in the workplace will set the apprentices up for excellent careers in their chosen fields.

 

The evening comprised of videos from employers and apprentices describing their work with guest speakers Lizzie Ginbey and Barry Tottle from Teapot Creative delivering a speech about the importance of apprenticeships to organisations and how they are bridging the skills gaps in the UK.

The event was kindly sponsored by Tradebe Inutec, Nuvia UK, Astron Fire & Security, Magnox, Taunton School, Shakespeare Martineau, Mihaz Business Coaching, OD Talent Solutions, Symphony Health Care Services, Initiis, Stantec, and Learning Curve.
