Lancashire Apprenticeship Ambassador Network
The LAAN is managed by Cath Robinson from the Lancashire Forum and is comprised of 1) Employer Ambassadors and 2) Apprenticeship Ambassadors.
- Apprenticeship Ambassadors are all either current apprentices or former apprentices who want to highlight the benefits of being an apprentice to employers and other young people. They will speak about their experiences at schools, youth clubs and careers fairs and meet employers face to face to encourage them to take on Apprentices.
- Employer Ambassadors were either ambassadors themselves or have recruited ambassadors and are passionate about the Apprenticeship route.
A Joint Initiative
As part of a joint initiative, the network was set up by the Lancashire Forum and the Lancashire Skills and Employment Hub, a part of the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
This has evolved into a recognised entity and is now a part of the North West Apprenticeship Ambassador Network.
