Masterclass of the Month - Handling the Heat: Confidence in Conflict & Workplace Challenges.

Fri, June 6, 2025 at 12:00pm – 1:30pm BST

The Association of Apprentices is thrilled to invite you to our exclusive 2025 monthly masterclass series!  This month’s focussing on how to handle workplace conflict and politics!

These inspiring virtual masterclasses are designed just for our AoA members, offering you unique insights and practical skills to help you excel in your apprenticeship journey. Join us to unlock your full potential, gain fresh perspectives, and build the confidence to tackle any challenge. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow, learn, and connect with experts and peers who are as committed to success as you are.

In this 90 minute interactive session you will:

  • Gain an understanding of common workplace conflicts and challenges, and how to navigate them effectively.
  • Learn to view conflict as an opportunity for growth and collaboration, rather than something inherently negative.
  • Build confidence in handling workplace challenges with professionalism and resilience.
  • Develop practical strategies to address and resolve conflicts while maintaining positive workplace relationships.
