APPRENTICES AND EMPLOYERS AWARDS CELEBRATE TOP


The glittering Themis Inspire and Achieve Awards 2024 celebrated the success, the passion and the innovation of apprentices and employers in Lancashire.


The prestigious ceremony was held at Burnley Football Club and saw trophies in categories including Future Boss, Digital Pioneer and the Ultimate Vision Award and was generously sponsored by John Turner Construction.


Some 200 nominees, their family and friends, distinguished guests and proud employers attended the spectacular event, enjoying an exceptional menu and drinks.


Notable speakers included Sarwat Jaleel, Ribble Valley entrepreneur and founder of Kushboo Soaps, known for its ethical commitment to donate soap for every purchase. Themis engineering degree apprentice Grace Francis shared her journey, highlighting the practical


aspects of apprenticeships over traditional classroom learning and encouraging young women in engineering.


Winners received stunning, Themis-designed trophies, manufactured by learners at Burnley College using state-of-the-art, five-axis CNC machines which form part of the college’s Institute of Technology facilities and a cheque from event sponsors John Turner Construction.


Karen Buchanan, chief executive of Themis, the apprenticeship training arm of Burnley College, said: “The Themis Inspire and Achieve Awards are a highlight in the apprenticeship calendar and it was an honour to recognise those amazing apprentices and employers in the fabulous surroundings of Turf Moor.


“Thanks to the dedication of our apprentices and the commitment of the forward-thinking employers who support them – we can be confident that industry in the region is in the safest of hands going forward.”
