HC-One Colleagues shortlisted for an outstanding five awards at the National Apprenticeship Awards 2

Five HC-One Colleagues across the North East, North West and West Midlands have been shortlisted as finalists in the regional ceremonies by the judging panel at the National Apprenticeship Awards 2021. 

The achievement of these five finalists is recognition of their hard work and the kind care shown to Residents, Relatives and Colleagues, the dedication and passion they show every day to ensure the people they support receive the best quality care, as well as their commitment to learning and developing their careers.  

The five HC-One apprentices have been named as finalists across two of the National Apprenticeship Award categories which are ‘Apprentice of the Year’ and ‘Rising Star of the Year’.  

Those apprentices who were named as finalists in the ‘Apprentice of the Year’ category recognised that the apprentices had made a real difference to their workplaces. 

The ‘Rising Star of the Year’ category finalists are recognised as having made impressive progress in their career to date and had demonstrated the potential to go even further.

Rikki Hall at Park House Care Home, finalist in the Rising Star of the Year Category at the National Apprenticeship Awards 2021 North East Regional Ceremony

The National Apprenticeship Awards 2021 marks 18 years of recognising and rewarding the achievements of exceptional apprentices, apprenticeship champions and employers. The awards are given to inspirational apprentices who are the very best, passionate and blaze their own trail, who are rising stars who go above and beyond and showcase the best in practice across the country.
