The Apprenticeship Ambassador Network (AAN) is a group of employers and former and current apprentices. They volunteer their time to encourage and inspire more young people to pursue high quality apprenticeships as a vibrant career path.
Benefits for employer ambassadors
- connect with apprentices and other organisations
- share experiences with other employers
- grow profile of your employer organisation
- enhance your employee base
What does an apprenticeship ambassador do?
They undertake their ambassador role on a voluntary basis by supporting and influencing a range of key stakeholders. These stakeholders include schools, colleges, local enterprise partnerships, employers and their supply chains, trade associations and employment bodies. They champion and support marketing, publicity and events to raise awareness of apprenticeships and mentor other ambassadors.
