Kleek shortlisted for National Awards for another year!

Kleek Apprenticeships are delighted to be in the running for yet more industry-recognised awards:

Apprenticeship and Training Awards 2025 

We are thrilled that our Managing Director, Tina Ockerby, has been shortlisted for the Outstanding Contribution to Apprenticeships and Training Award at the 2025 AAT Awards.

Finalists were selected by a 20-strong panel of judges including AELP’s CEO Ben Rowland, apprenticeship influencer Holly Hobbs, former skills minister Anne Milton and UCAS head of apprenticeships Lindsay Conroy.

Tina was recently a guest at a parliamentary reception held at the House of Commons as part of National Apprenticeships Week on 10 February to recognise this year’s finalists. The event was hosted by Sir Lindsay Hoyle, and was a great opportunity to hear from and speak with Jacqui Smith, The Rt Hon. Baroness Smith of Malvern, the Minister of State for Skills and Government, which includes all things apprenticeships!

The winners will be announced at the Apprenticeships and Training Conference gala dinner and awards evening on 11 March 2025 in Liverpool.

The awards, formerly known as the AAC Apprenticeship Awards, recognise exceptional training, outreach, and employers. They are organised by FE Week, the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP), and City and Guilds. 

Apprenticeship Guide Awards 2025

We are thrilled to be nominated for a second year for the Best Apprenticeships in Hair & Beauty and Best Training Provider at the Apprenticeship Guide Awards. We were the inaugural winner of the Hair & Beauty category last year, so it's always nice to be nominated again!

The awards are organised by the Apprenticeship Guide, now in its twentieth year, and celebrate the employers and training providers who enable their apprentices to flourish

Good luck Kleek and to all the shortlisted nominees!
