National Apprenticeship Week
National Apprenticeship Week (10-16 February 2025) is our opportunity to celebrate the achievements of Salford apprentices and the positive impact they are having on their communities, workplaces, and the wider economy.
Our apprentices are employed in a wide variety of sectors including construction, engineering, science, healthcare and policing. This page brings together their inspiring stories, as well as news about our annual Apprenticeship Awards that celebrate their outstanding contributions.
Celebrating success
We're hugely proud of our apprentices who have gone above and beyond in their workplace and, as a result, have been recognised on a national stage. Here are just a few of the recent award wins we’re celebrating at Salford:
Georgia Veevers, Construction Project Management
Congratulations to apprentice Georgia who won Women in Construction's 'One to Watch' award! Georgia combines work with study at Overbury, a Manchester-based contractor.
Yomi Aminu, Nursing Associate
Nursing apprentice, Yomi won the highly prized Mary Seacole Award for Outstanding Contribution to Diversity and Inclusion at the Student Nursing Times Awards.
Holly Andersen, Physiotherapy
During Holly’s apprenticeship, she has not only excelled in the course, but helped to save a patient’s life by detecting a bilateral pulmonary embolism. Now Holly has been named NHS Apprenticeship Awards' Clinical Apprentice of the Year.
