Kleek Named National Finalists for 2026 Apprenticeship & Training Awards

A Strong Start to 2026 for Kleek Apprenticeships

2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for Kleek Apprenticeships, as we celebrate being named National Finalists for two 2026 National Apprenticeship & Training Awards:

• Apprenticeship Provider of the Year
• Sustainability in Training and Apprenticeships

Kicking off National Apprenticeship Week on 9th February 2026, our Managing Director, Tina and Academy Manager Tegan attended the Finalists’ Parliamentary Reception at the House of Lords. Hosted by Baroness Nicky Morgan and Skills Minister Baroness Jacqui Smith, they were joined by apprenticeship training providers and employers from across the UK to celebrate excellence in skills and training. 

More than 90 organisations were named national finalists this year, with entries assessed by an independent panel of expert judges against strict criteria including learner impact, innovation, inclusivity and employer engagement. Being recognised at a national level is a HUGE honour and a testament to the passion, dedication and commitment shown every day by our teams to apprentices and employers across England.

What a moment. What a team. Let's hope we take home a win at the Apprenticeships & Training Gala Dinner and Awards Evening in March 2026.
