On Wednesday 7 March, three Apprentice Award events were held across the Department for Transport (DfT) family as part of National Apprenticeship Week. The events brought together apprentices and their line managers to recognise and celebrate the achievements and the impact apprenticeships have had over the last twelve months.

HR and Estates Director Louise White opened the event and presented the 2018 Apprentice Awards to the winners, in recognition of their exceptional contributions.
Louise said:
“It’s been really inspirational to hear about the brilliant journeys the apprentices have been on and celebrate their successes. Hearing about everyone’s drive to develop has strengthened my resolve to carry on apprenticeships here at the DVLA. Well done to all!
