National Building and Housing Apprentice Awards 2026 

We are delighted to announce that the APSE National Building & Housing Apprentice awards will once again be held in Scotland as part of the APSE Building and Housing Seminar taking place in Glasgow on 5-6 March 2026.

The aim of the Apprentice Awards, which will be open to every Council across the UK, is not only to give recognition to our future tradespersons/ professionals, but also to the Councils themselves who continue to invest in and provide first class training / employment initiatives in bone-fide Apprenticeship schemes which given the current economic conditions is increasingly important and needs to be encouraged.

The Awards scheme is open to all recognised apprenticeships within the areas of Building and Housing including Trade and non-trade/professional and to apprentices from all stages of training (1st year to 4th year). Each entry will be examined individually and assessed on its own merit and the submission should be based over one academic year (August 2024 / July 2025).
