Hull Apprentice scoops major Apprenticeship Award
21 year old Samuel Buckley from Hull stole the show at this year’s prestigious regional Apprenticeship Awards, after winning the ‘Advanced Apprentice of the Year’ accolade.
Sam is celebrating after scooping the major prize at Leeds Town Hall in front of over 350 apprentices, employers, business leaders and political figures from across the region.
Organised by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) the regional Apprenticeship Awards are designed to celebrate the achievements of apprentices and the businesses that employ them. Sam will now represent Yorkshire and the Humber and automatically go through to a judging panel for the National Apprenticeship Awards held on the 15th July in London.
Sam has completed an Advanced Engineering Apprenticeship and Higher Professional Diploma qualification through Hull Training and his local employer, Ideal Boilers. The judges felt he exceeded all expectations with his high level of job awareness and effort. They believe he is yielding good benefits for his employer, by making excellent progress and playing a key part in many work projects. He is regarded as an exceptional apprentice and a real role model for others.
Nick Wilson, regional director for the NAS in Yorkshire and the Humber, said: “This year’s awards were a terrific showcase of the outstanding wealth of Apprenticeship talent that we have across Yorkshire and the Humber. Given the volume and high calibre of entries we received, I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate Sam on this superb achievement.
