Apprenticeship Awards 2023

This year’s Apprenticeship Awards took place on Monday 6 February 2023.

Congratulations to this year's apprentice stars!

Gower College Swansea's prestigious Apprenticeship Awards took place once again on Tycoch Campus, Monday 6 February, following two years of being hosted online due to Covid-19 lockdowns.

Hosted by BBC sports presenter Ross Harries, the event celebrated the achievements of apprentices, employers, and tutors in Wales and England.

Guests enjoyed a canapé and drink reception with arrival entertainment from the College's jazz band, a sequin wall for photos and a 360° video photo booth before celebrating winners from 64 categories.

The Apprenticeship Programme in Wales is funded by the Welsh Government with support from the European Social Fund.
