BASA Awards 2025 Application - Apprentice of the Year

The winner of this Award will be, in the view of the judges, an outstanding Apprentice employed by a BASA member company who can demonstrate commitment, has made a positive impact, and has fostered innovation. This Award celebrates apprentices who are learning on the job, showing real-world impact from their learning, and boosting innovation in their workplaces. We are looking to recognise excellence within our industry and celebrating our extraordinary apprentices.


ENTRY TO THE AWARD 

A company can nominate an employee to enter the Award, who is employed as an apprentice on a recognised apprenticeship scheme. Anyone leaving their employer between the application and the presentation event, should inform BASA, as this would disqualify them from the award.
