Awards 2009
Once again, the Nottinghamshire Training Networks (NTN) awards evening was a great success held at the East Midlands Conference Centre. The Oscar style awards celebrated the outstanding achievement of learners, their employers and training providers who deliver the work-based learning programmes across Nottinghamshire. These programmes are fundamental in raising the skills of young people and thus developing a more skilled workforce.

Debbie Harris of JHP said of the evening event ‘…sometimes we are so busy managing contracts that we need a reminder of what it’s all about and seeing the achievement of all the nominees was incredible. It’s about the learner and the awards provide a real opportunity to celebrate the success and achievements of our learners.’
There were 9 different award categories and the winner from each category won a fantastic trophy and £300 worth of vouchers, with each of the two runners up winning a trophy and £100 worth of vouchers.
NTN Graduation - Review from Debbie Harris (JHP)
On Thursday the 28th January, I attended the Nottinghamshire Skills Graduation at the East Midlands Conference Centre – what a amazing experience!
Not least because of the pride I felt at having 20 Advanced Apprentices from JHP graduating that afternoon in full cap and gown.
The auditorium was full of excited/nervous and proud graduates, families, friends, training providers and employers.
All there, to recognise the fantastic achievements of 130 Advanced Apprentices.
Janet Charlton, NTN’s Chief Executive, opened the event by welcoming everyone and informing the audience that this was a unique gathering - the only one in the country where the Advanced Apprentices wear full cap and gown to receive their certificates.
Mick Brown, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Area Director LSC and soon to be YPLA Director, congratulated the Apprentices and spoke about his experience of Apprenticeships including his sons achievement.
Anthony May Nottinghamshire County Councils Director of Children and Young Peoples Services talked about “his Apprenticeship” and how pleased he was to be involved.
Terry Laws LSC thanked NTN for arranging the event and talked about the positive impact of Apprenticeships on the economy and encouraged the Advance Apprentices to consider their next steps. He also introduced the Aimhigher DVD which highlighted progression.
The Graduates were then called up to the stage by Sue Bradshaw NTN’s Chair to receive their certificates from Mick Brown and Janet Charlton – a lovely photo call opportunity.
Janet thanked everyone and congratulated the Apprentices, everyone agreed that it was a truly marvellous celebration of success. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world!
