Celebrating Our Amazing Apprentices
We’re thrilled to announce the Barnsley & Rotherham Business Awards 2025, where we shine a spotlight on individuals who have gone above and beyond in their apprenticeships.
This award is all about recognising current apprentices and those who have completed an apprenticeship during the 2024/2025 period. If you've made a mark in your workplace, we want to hear your story!
Why apply?
At the core of this award is the belief that apprenticeships are key to building a skilled workforce and driving success in our local businesses. Our judges will be on the lookout for some key evidence that showcases dedication, creativity, and the positive impact they've made.
The Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards isn’t just about recognising individual talent; it's about celebrating the incredible contributions apprentices make to our community and local businesses. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be nominated, we encourage you to apply! Let's come together to celebrate the future stars of our workforce and the amazing things they’re doing in our region.
Dedication and Commitment Through Learning
We want to see how passionate your apprentice is about learning! Whether they’ve been actively participating in training sessions or diving into coursework, show us how they’ve committed to developing skills and growing within their role.
Brilliant Examples of Applying Theory in Real Life
It's one thing to learn theory; it’s another to put it into practice! We’re interested in how they’ve taken something learned and applied it to real situations at work. Share some standout moments where they've used new knowledge to solve problems or contribute to your team.
Going Above and Beyond
Have your apprentice taken on extra responsibilities or led a project that made a difference? We want to hear about those moments when they didn’t just meet expectations but exceeded them! Whether it's helping out a colleague or coming up with a great new idea, show us how they’ve stood out in your workplace.
Positive Feedback from Colleagues, Tutors, and Customers
Share any positive feedback your apprentice has received from your colleagues, tutors, or customers. Whether it's a shout-out for teamwork or praise for professionalism, this feedback helps paint a picture of the impact they've made on those around them.
