University of Oxford Apprenticeship Expo & Awards 2020

10:54

On Wednesday 11th March, the University of Oxford Apprenticeships Team held the annual Apprenticeship Expo & Awards event at the Sheldonian Theatre.

Overview

This event is a chance to:

Recognise Apprenticeships across the University
Celebrate those who have completed Apprenticeship based training
Award individuals who go above and beyond in their Apprenticeships

Graduation Certificates

We believe it is important to recognise those that have finished their Apprenticeship training with the University. Although the apprentices will receive certificates for the qualifications gained with their training providers, they also gain a completion certificate from the University of Oxford.

This year, we were extremely pleased to have the Vice-Chancellor, professor Louise Richardson, support our event and hand out the certificates after speaking about Apprenticeships within the University.
