# NAW 2024: Our Apprenticeships team in the headlines

Celebrating this year’s National Apprenticeship Week, we’re delighted to look at some of the ways in which our Apprenticeship programme and our experts have made an impact in the media.

Taking place between the 5th and 11th February, National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) is an opportunity for the education and skills sector to celebrate the achievements of apprentices around the country and the positive impact they make to communities, businesses, and the wider economy.

At Arden University, our Degree Apprenticeship offerings are a key part of what we do, and we’re proud of the positive changes we’re seeing in our apprenticeship students and of the mutual benefits they, and their employers, can gain from our courses.

Let’s take a look at some of the ways our apprenticeships have been securing headlines.
