Employee Excellence Awards
Apprentice of the Year Award
Learning on the job and already delivering.
About this category
This award recognises an apprentice at any level whose progress in their training and contribution at work stand out. Judges look for learning, application at work and the commitment shown.
Eligibility
- Open to current apprentices
- To those who completed an apprenticeship during the qualifying period
Judging criteria
- Progress in training
- Contribution at work
- Application of skills
- Attitude and commitment
- Potential
Qualitative criteria
Hunger to learn and pride in the craft.
Metrics
- Training progress and grades
- Responsibilities taken on and employer and training provider feedback
Additional criteria
Entries should include a short account of the contribution, supporting figures where they exist and, wherever possible, comments from colleagues, managers or customers. An employee can be put forward by anyone who has seen their work, or can enter themselves. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel, and customer or colleague names can be left out. Judges consider the size of the organisation and the nature of the role, so a cleaner, a driver or a care worker competes on equal terms with a head office professional.
