Sponsored By: APM

The Apprentice of the Year Award 2017 won by Naila Bibi of Aspire Housing. She also won the Finance Legal & Professional Services Apprentice Award 2017.

About Naila Bibi:
Naila gave up her Summer holidays to take part in an apprenticeship training programme. After the eight week placement in the HR department at Aspire Housing, she was offered a two-year Business Administration Apprenticeship. Naila opted for the apprenticeship rather than going to college to study for A levels. Having started her apprenticeship in September 2016 Naila’s employers stated she was inquisitive, determined and dedicated to her role and learning by being consistently ahead of her targeted progress and continually carry out out research, applying her finding to her work. The judges were specifically impressed with Naila’s progression, enthusiasm and the fact she also mentors other apprentices.

The Asian Apprenticeship Awards:
Launched in 2016
The Asian Apprenticeship Awards is a flagship event to celebrate the talent and diversity in apprenticeships among British Asians within the BME community. It’s an opportunity to celebrate and promote individuals as well as recognising the success of businesses/organisations that have played an integral part in investing in young people and apprenticeships.

More than 500 people have celebrated the best of apprentices from the British Asian community and the companies and organisations that employ them.
The second annual Asian Apprenticeship Awards 2017 took place at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham on Thursday, November 2, in front of apprentices and leaders from business and education.
More than 20 awards were presented to apprentices and employers.
The Apprentice of the Year was Naila Bibi from Aspire Housing who also won the Finance, Legal and Professional Services Category.
A special award was made to Sue Husband, Director of the National Apprenticeship Service, in recognition of her overall contribution to apprenticeships.
Charlie Mullins, who left school at the age of 15, to take up a plumbing apprenticeship and has since gone on to become Britain’s first millionaire plumber, was the keynote speaker.
The hosts were broadcaster and journalist Suzi Mann and Kasim Choudhry, Director of ThinkFest Events and the entertainment was provided by comedian Hardeep Singh Kohli, singer Nasa Munir and The Band Baja.
Founded by Safaraz Ali, the Awards are intended to encourage more young people from the British Asian Community to become apprentices. This important community is under-represented when it comes to apprenticeships.
The awards support the Government’s target of increasing the number of apprentices by 20 percent by 2020.
At the core of the awards is the contribution they make by raising awareness, celebrating success and inspiring others.
The Awards were sponsored by organisations from business, education and training and the military. Headline sponsor was the global training provider APM.
