The BIG Ask: AoA's Pre-Election Survey 2024

04/06/2024

The BIG Ask 2024

The ongoing General Election campaigns are bringing the spotlight on apprenticeships, with policies highlighted across political parties. This presents apprentices with a remarkable opportunity to voice their thoughts and share the collective impact of the apprentice community on the UK.

How to Make Your Voice Count

To ensure your perspective as an apprentice is heard, members can participate in a survey to share your experiences. By doing so, you contribute to shaping the future of apprenticeships and stand a chance to win a £100 e-voucher of your choice. This survey will be made available via email to those subscribed and on AoA Connect.

The aim is to gather 1,000 submissions, signifying the collective voice of apprentices in the UK. Your input is invaluable in explaining to the new government what works well and what could be improved in the apprenticeship system.

By actively engaging in the survey, apprentices can play a crucial role in shaping the future of apprenticeships and skills training in the UK, thereby ensuring that the voices of apprentices are heard and valued in the decision-making process.

A General Election has been called for 4 July 2024. Register to vote by 11:59pm on 18 June 2024. Register to vote!
