National Apprenticeship Week Student Booklet – Waterhead Academy

May 24, 2025

During National Apprenticeship Week, we delivered a bespoke careers session for 30 minutes each day teaching our students about apprenticeships, skills and employers. Throughout the week, students were given a number of activities in a booklet to check their knowledge and understanding of what had been covered. These activities complimented the encounters with further and higher education they had also received in assemblies that week. Upon completion of the booklet, students were each awarded a certificate. All students in Years 7-11 took part.
