We would love for you to join us for an employer-focused event exploring apprenticeships in social care as part of Northern Ireland Apprenticeship Week 2026.

Hear from key stakeholders, including government department representatives, and the Health and Social Care Sectoral Partnership, alongside insights from training providers, employers, and apprentices. Share your views on the benefits and challenges of apprenticeships.
