Economy and Skills Group in running for two national awards

The county council’s Economy and Skills group are in the running for two national awards.

The Apprenticeship Hub is a finalist for the CIPD People Management Awards Best Apprenticeship Programme 2016. Known as one of the most prestigious events in the industry, the awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievement and valuable contribution that HR and learning and development make to the overall success of an organisation. The winner will be announced on 27th September.

The Warwickshire Rural Growth Network (which is managed by the Economy and Skills Group on behalf of the CWLEP) has been short-listed for the 2016 Enterprising Britain Awards. The awards are part of the Government's drive to increase entrepreneurial activity in the UK. There are four categories and the competition will decide who gets the title of "Most Enterprising Place in Britain" along with identifying the UK's entries to the European Enterprise Promotion Awards. The winners will be announced later in the year.
