National Apprenticeship Week was an annual week-long celebration of apprenticeships across England and was a time to recognise and applaud apprenticeship success stories across the country.
Apprenticeship employers used the opportunity to promote the success of their apprentices and highlight the huge benefits to other employers, of all sizes, who are thinking of taking on an apprentice.
Apprentices across the country were celebrated throughout the week, with engagement and events in schools and colleges. We met many current and former apprentices to tell their story and attract the next generation of apprentices, so they too can fire up their future career.

@GSK
Hi I’m Jess and I’m a laboratory science apprentice at GSK. I am on a degree apprentice where after the 3 years I will have a degree in Chemistry as well as 3 years work experience with the company.
My school was very insistent on getting their students to go to university, of which I followed that classic route as I wasn’t aware of other options at the time. I spent a month at university studying chemistry and knew it wasn’t for me, I was ready to start working but wasn’t ready to give up the studying. I took a year out and did an entry level job of which I enjoyed but it wasn’t pushing me enough academically.
Then I came across the degree apprenticeships at GSK, since then I am now fully trained in the finished products department analysing samples of popular consumer healthcare products such as Sensodyne and Aquafresh. Every 9 months I rotate to a different department which will cross train me across different areas of the business and gain skills that usual employees may not have the opportunity to do. I really enjoy my apprentice and wouldn’t change a thing.
