Created as the next evolution of the East Kent Apprenticeship Awards, the Kent Apprenticeship Awards bring together the best of Kent’s apprenticeship community under one unified awards programme, offering greater visibility, wider recognition and a larger platform of success.

A bigger celebration for the whole of Kent
Expanding from East Kent to a county-wide event allows the awards to:
- Celebrate a broader range of talent and organisations
- Create greater visibility for apprenticeships across Kent
- Offer enhanced networking opportunities
- Deliver a large, more impactful event experience
This evolution reflects the growing importance of apprenticeships in supporting Kent’s workforce, economy and future skills.
Why a county-wide awards programme matters
By bringing the apprenticeship community together under one county-wide celebration, the Kent Apprenticeship Awards reflect the scale, ambition and impact of apprenticeships across Kent. The expanded programme fosters stronger connections, wider recognition and a shared platform to celebrate success across all regions, sectors and industries.
Who the awards are for
The Kent Apprenticeship Awards are open to apprentices, employers, training providers and individuals who champion apprenticeships across Kent.
