National Apprenticeship Week is a Government-run campaign which provides an opportunity for the education and skills sector to celebrate the achievements of apprentices around the country, and the positive impact they make to communities, businesses and the wider economy.
In 2026, the theme set by the Department for Education includes ‘Skills For Life’, which lies at the heart of our Let’s Talk Mental Wellbeing Programme for apprentices and college students. The programme aims to increase awareness of mental health and wellbeing, to instil a confidence amongst apprentices in knowing where to seek support themselves, and how to start and manage that difficult conversation about mental health in order to break down the stigma that surrounds it.
