What does an Apprenticeship Ambassador do?

As a business that has previous experience of taking on apprentices, an Apprentice Ambassador is a champion of the value of taking on Apprentices. A volunteer taking on this role should be able to commit around 4 days a year so that they can participate in activities such as careers fairs or events.

Responsibilities include:

• Communicating the benefits of apprenticeships within your own network of customers, supply chain and trade bodies
• Acting as a role model for encouraging breadth and diversity of opportunities offered
• Sharing your experiences of the impact an apprentice has made within your organisation in an open and transparent way
• Promoting the value of apprenticeships at relevant events such as skills shows, job fairs, virtual events and guide peers and other organisations positively about the benefits of apprenticeships.
