National Apprenticeship Week – Apprentices powering UK ports

PSS invites members to join us in shining a light on the apprentices shaping the future of UK ports as part of National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) and the devolved nations’ apprenticeship weeks.

This year, PSS will coordinate two sector-wide activities to capture and share the real stories, voices and experiences of port apprentices across the UK. By taking part, you will help promote the breadth of opportunities in ports and inspire the next generation to join our sector.

How to get involved

Members are asked to contribute to:

• Daily apprentice profiles published throughout NAW and the devolved nations’ apprenticeship weeks, showcasing pathways, experience, ambition, and the variety of roles within the port sector.
• One‑minute video featuring apprentices from across the UK sharing the best part of their apprenticeship, alongside a collective closing message: “We are the future of UK ports.”

Contributions will be shared on the PSS website and social channels throughout the weeks as part of a coordinated campaign to highlight skills, career pathways, and the impact of apprentices in the port sector.

Deadline for content: Friday 30 January

Send your video clips and case studies to [email protected] by Friday 30 January.
