As part of National Apprenticeship Week 2021, we’ll be telling the stories of some of the amazing apprentices in the fashion and textile industry and outlining new developments in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. We’ll also be celebrating the motivational tales of apprentices and businesses that have adapted to respond to the challenges of Covid-19, helping to build the future of our industry.

Adam Mansell, CEO of UKFT, says: “Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to enter the fashion and textile industry. UKFT has been working hard with the industry over the past few years to develop a range of new apprenticeships (available in England) and I’m delighted that we have so many positive stories to share over apprenticeship week. I’m also particularly pleased that we now have active apprenticeship programmes in all four nations.”
