Paragon Skills is proud to announce our 2023 Paragon Skills Apprenticeship Awards finalists

Paragon Skills is excited to announce the date and finalists for our Paragon Skills Apprenticeship Awards, now in its second year, which will be held on the 21st June 2023!

The Paragon Skills Apprenticeship Awards are designed to recognise and reward the achievements of exceptional apprentices and apprenticeship employers. These awards will highlight and celebrate the commitment, hard work, and achievements of both apprentices and the contribution of their employers.

Apprenticeships help shape successful careers and build successful teams and businesses across a large and diverse range of sectors. At Paragon Skills we have a particular focus and dedication on the care and early years sectors but also have a third category ‘Professional’ which encompasses our other apprenticeship routes.

All the finalists in this year’s awards have been selected for setting an exceptionally high standard, leading the way and showing their dedication to apprenticeships.

The team at Paragon Skills has been busy nominating and voting for our finalists within each of our twelve categories.  We have been blown away by the level and quality of all the nominations with so many inspiring stories across both the apprentice and employer categories. Being nominated for the Paragon Skills Apprenticeship Awards is a huge achievement in itself, celebrating hard work and the impact being made.

The anonymous vote was certainly no easy task with so many standout nominations and stories to be told. A huge congratulations to our 24 finalists who truly showcase what best in class looks like, we look forward to celebrating with you when we announce the winners on the 21 June.
