Angharad Beynon – Head of Policy and Sales – Wales was proud to join Prynhawn Da on S4C this week to celebrate the first day of Apprenticeship Week Wales 2026, shining a spotlight on the vital role apprenticeships play across the nation.

Appearing on the popular Welsh-language programme, Angharad highlighted the significant contribution apprenticeships make to the Welsh economy supporting businesses to grow, creating accessible pathways into high-quality employment, and empowering individuals to build rewarding, long-term careers.

Apprenticeships continue to strengthen industries across Wales by developing skilled, confident professionals who are ready to meet the needs of employers now and in the future.

Speaking after the programme, Angharad said:

We’re incredibly grateful to the employers, colleges and training providers who work tirelessly to champion apprenticeships and invest in future talent.”
