Meet our Apprentice and Employer Ambassadors…
Lancashire Employer Ambassador
WHAT IS AN EMPLOYER AMBASSADOR?
Employers whose main aim is to spearhead the drive to engage new employers to commit to apprenticeship delivery in England. The National and North West apprenticeship ambassador networks are supported by the LAAN. The chair of each Regional LAAN is also a member of the national AAN.
Employer Ambassadors are all employers who have previously, or who currently recruit apprentices and who want to highlight the benefits of taking part in the Apprenticeship programme to other employers and young people. They may even have been apprentices themselves, therefore they are passionate about their experiences with apprentices and are keen to promote the apprenticeship route
These ambassadors undertake their role (on a voluntary basis) by supporting and influencing a wide range of key stakeholders including schools, colleges, local enterprise partnerships, employers and their supply chains, trade associations and employment bodies. They champion and support marketing, publicity and events to raise awareness of apprenticeships and also mentor other employers.
