The main role of an Ambassador is to act as an advocate of Apprenticeships and promote the benefits to relevant stakeholders.
Ambassadors take on their role (on a voluntary basis) by supporting and influencing a wide range of key stakeholders including schools, colleges, local enterprise partnerships, employers & their supply chains, trade associations and employment bodies. They champion and support marketing, publicity and events to raise awareness of apprenticeships and mentor other employers.
