We are delighted to announce that the 2019/2020 Apprentice of the Year is Tom Oakman,  an electrical apprentice working at Alderney Electricity.

The Apprentice of the Year was set up in 2001 to acknowledge the dedication of apprentices in any apprenticeship offered within the Guernsey Apprenticeship programme.

Every year, the Apprentice of the Year awards are held, and both employers and apprentice tutors are offered the opportunity to nominate an apprentice for these awards. An apprentice from each subject is selected and receives a trophy and certificate and from these category winners, an overall winner is chosen.
