Are you passionate about apprenticeships and want to make a difference in the printing industry? BPIF Training is excited to introduce the Apprenticeship Champion Network, a new initiative dedicated to championing apprenticeships and inspiring the next generation of talent.

As part of this dynamic group, you’ll have the opportunity to:

Be a Champion for Apprenticeships
Share your personal success stories and experiences, and advocate for the benefits of apprenticeships to a wider audience. Whether you’re a current apprentice, a recent graduate, or an industry professional, your voice can make an impact!

Attend Industry Events
Become the face of apprenticeships at major industry events. You’ll represent the programme, network with key industry players, participate in panel sessions, and inspire others to consider apprenticeships as a rewarding career pathway.

Promote Apprenticeships in Newsletters & Media
Help us spread the word by contributing to newsletters, blogs, and social media platforms. Share your journey, tips for success, and the opportunities apprenticeships offer. Your insights could inspire others to embark on their own apprenticeship journey.

Inspire the Next Generation
By sharing your experiences and insights, you’ll encourage others to pursue a rewarding career in the printing industry. You’ll also contribute to building a strong, skilled workforce for the future.
