Northern Ireland Apprenticeship Week 2025: Getting it Right for You

Economy Minister Conor Murphy has launched Northern Ireland Apprenticeship Week 2025.

Led by the Department for the Economy, the week-long programme of apprenticeship events runs from 3-7 February 2025. NI Apprenticeship Week seeks to raise the profile of apprenticeships and promote participation in apprenticeship provision across all levels and vocations.

This year the theme of NI Apprenticeship Week is ‘Getting it Right for You’, to highlight that apprenticeship opportunities are varied, flexible and meet the needs of many different people as well as many sectors of our economy.

Officially launching Northern Ireland Apprenticeship Week 2025 the Minister said:  “With almost 13,000 people on apprenticeships and higher level apprenticeships here, more people than ever are choosing to pursue a career that combines learning on the job with a recognised vocational qualification.

“Now in its sixth year, Apprenticeship Week provides a great opportunity for everyone involved in apprenticeships to come together, during a week-long programme of events and activity right across the north, to showcase the wide range of apprenticeship opportunities available to people of all ages.”

NI Apprenticeship Week brings together local councils, employers, universities, further education colleges, private training providers and many more partners committed to the development and delivery of apprenticeships.

Events include information sessions and showcases for apprenticeships in various sectors, including hospitality and construction, and higher level apprenticeships, among many other events across Northern Ireland.

Check out the Have a Go sessions at SERC's Bangor, Downpatrick, Lisburn and Newtownards Campuses and book your spot to attend and see the full range of apprenticeships at each SERC Campus.
