At Teesside University we have a commitment to recognising the growing success of apprenticeships, which continue to contribute to the economic, social, and cultural success of individuals, employers, and the communities we serve. It is essential we acknowledge the important role apprenticeships play in the development of regional and national industry skills and showcase and celebrate those organisations and individuals who are leading the way, delivering, and achieving best practice within their specific industries.
