There will be a panel discussion between representatives from companies including Sodexo, Compass, Luxury Family Hotels, GlaxoSmithKline and the London Progression Collaboration.

Umbrella training will be speaking to Sean Wheeler, formerly director of people development for Kimpton UK & Regent Hotels at Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG). Hosted on LinkedIn Live he will share his career insights and talk about how career progression can be achieved through apprenticeships.

Jo Simovic, chief executive of Umbrella Training, said: “National Apprenticeship Week is always great opportunity to showcase the value of apprenticeship to individual organisations and the wider industry.

“This year, it feels more significant than ever given the people challenges the industry is facing. As the sector recovers, we firmly believe that apprentices will play a vital role in helping organisations rebuild their workforces.”

The week-long celebration will showcase how apprenticeships have helped employers and their businesses.

Apprenticeships and Skills Minister Gillian Keegan, added: “It has been fantastic to see how employers of all sizes have gone above and beyond to ensure apprentices can continue their studies during this unprecedented time.

“As a former apprentice I know what a life changing experience it can be, and I’m looking forward to being part of National Apprenticeship Week 2021 and seeing first-hand the inspiring ways apprentices and their employers continue to deliver.”
