National Apprenticeship Week 2026
National Apprenticeship Week 2026, which runs from February 9 – 15 in England and Wales and March 2-6 in Scotland, is again shining a light on the next generation of seafood industry talent.
Northern Ireland enjoyed its own National Apprenticeship Week at the beginning of February.
With hands-on training, industry mentorship, and real-world experience, apprenticeships help young people and those looking to change careers gain the skills the seafood industry needs to grow.
Matthew Bell is Head of Business Development at FDQ (Food and Drink Qualifications). They are responsible for apprentice end-point assessments for food and drink qualifications including the Fishmonger Apprenticeship.
