As part of the process, judges have looked for examples of how the apprentices help develop the workforce and showcase the benefits that they can bring to our Trust. They will be looking for businesses that are working on promoting the use of apprentices in their workplace.
The awards will take place on Thursday 28 February at the Grand Hotel Gosforth Park.
