The renewed interest in apprenticeships and earning while you learn will be celebrated at this year's CoventryLive and WarwickshireLive Business Awards.
A new category has been created for the 2022 event - Apprentice of the Year - which will recognise a rising talent in the business community who is following the apprenticeship path.
In recent years, employers from small businesses to major corporations have either launched new apprenticeship schemes, or expanded their existing programmes, in order to ensure they have access to staff with the right skills they need.
