We celebrate our apprentices every day but from 7-11 February this year, we come together to showcase the talents and successes of apprentices around the country, during National Apprenticeship Week 2022.

Check out our animated video on YouTube which highlights the pros of choosing an apprenticeship over other forms of further education.

Getting the week off to a strong start are our apprentices themselves. 

Who better to tell us how their apprenticeship helps them ‘Level Up’ every day… and let us into some of the secrets of their success. 

Make sure you check out our Instagram feed throughout the day as the Umbrella apprentices motivate you from first thing in the morning. 

Meet Chloe, an apprentice at award-winning kitchen garden hotel, THE PIG-at Bridge Place, Kent.

Chloe will help you work up an appetite for apprenticeships by walking us through a day in her life, from the bustle of breakfast service to sourcing seasonal home-grown and local produce.

As industry experts, the specialist team is perfectly placed to advise on personal and professional development in all kinds of apprenticeships, including Learning and Development, Hospitality and Human Resources.  

We’re especially looking forward to hearing from Learning Consultant Freddie, who started his career as a hospitality apprentice after graduating from university with a degree in Business Management.  

Saving the best for last, we have the pleasure and honour of spending time with Michelin star chef Angela Hartnett OBE.  

A protégée of Gordon Ramsay, Angela was recognised in this year’s The New Year Honours List for her services to the hospitality industry and the NHS throughout the pandemic. 

Tune in to our Instagram Live to hear Umbrella friend Angela, who is Chef Proprietor at Mayfair restaurant, Murano, in conversation with our aspiring apprentices.

Published cookbook author and television personality, Angela, talks about how apprenticeships can help hungry for success chefs level up to meet the demands of the role and reflects on her apprentice days.
