BPIF Training has launched the Apprenticeship Champion Network as part of National Apprenticeship Week 2025. The initiative will bring together passionate advocates from across the print industry to support, promote, and enhance apprenticeships, ensuring the future success of businesses and professionals in the sector.
The Apprenticeship Champion Network is designed to connect employers, training providers, and industry leaders, creating a collaborative space where members can share best practices, mentor apprentices, and advocate for skills development within the printing industry. By becoming an apprenticeship champion, individuals and businesses will play a key role in raising awareness of apprenticeship opportunities and the benefits they bring to both employers and learners.
BPIF Training has long been at the forefront of apprenticeship provision, helping to develop the next generation of skilled professionals. With over 400 apprentices currently in training and partnerships with more than 150 employers, the launch of the Apprenticeship Champion Network is a natural next step in strengthening the industry’s skills pipeline.
The launch of the Apprenticeship Champion Network aligns with the national theme of ‘Skills for Life’, reinforcing the importance of lifelong learning and workforce development. Throughout National Apprenticeship Week 2025, BPIF Training will be sharing stories of successful apprentices, employer case studies, and insights from apprenticeship champions, showcasing the value of high quality training and career development in the print sector.
Employers can access resources for National Apprenticeship Week 2025 at BPIF Training’s NAW 2025 resource hub. The organisation will also be releasing guides and documents throughout the week, covering topics such as understanding apprenticeships, ongoing support, onboarding, mental health, maximising benefits, interview questions, FAQs, identifying business needs, and the recruitment process.
BPIF Training is inviting print professionals and businesses to become part of the Apprenticeship Champion Network and contribute to the growth of the industry. Whether you are an employer looking to inspire the next generation, a training provider keen to support skills development, or an apprentice eager to share your journey, this is an opportunity to make a real difference.To learn more and sign up, visit BPIF Training’s Apprenticeship Champion Network.
