Why National Apprenticeship Week 2026 Matters
At Landmarks Specialist College, we believe the most valuable investment isn’t in technology, facilities, or equipment – it’s in people. National Apprenticeship Week 2026 (#NAW2026) is the perfect moment to celebrate our team members who are upskilling through apprenticeships while continuing to make a real impact on our learners’ lives.
Apprenticeships aren’t just for school leavers. They’re a practical way for professionals to gain recognised qualifications, expand expertise, and open up new career opportunities – all while staying in work. Across our HR, Marketing, and Accounting teams, colleagues are completing apprenticeships alongside their day-to-day roles, proving that growth is achievable with dedication and support.
