National Apprenticeship Week 2025, second year apprentices at The Electrical Academy

During National Apprenticeship Week 2025, we caught up with apprentices now in their second year. At this stage, learners have usually found their rhythm, built confidence with key tasks, and started to see how training translates to real work.

Why hands-on training matters

Electrical apprenticeships are built on practical experience. Time in the workshop and classroom supports safer work, stronger understanding, and better decision-making on site. In this video, apprentices share what they’ve been learning and how their skills are developing as they progress.

Skills that last beyond the apprenticeship

An apprenticeship is not only about today’s job. It builds habits and knowledge that support a full career in the electrical industry, from technical competence to communication, professionalism and confidence under pressure.

The Electrical Academy is proud to support apprentices and employers across Kent and the South East, helping learners build solid foundations for long-term success.
