National Apprenticeship Week 2026 at Blackpool and Fylde College shines a light on everything that makes apprenticeships such a powerful route into skilled, meaningful careers. It’s a week that celebrates ambition, talent, and the real-world impact of learning on the job.
Across the college, apprentices, employers, and staff come together to showcase success stories, hands‑on demonstrations, and the kind of industry partnerships that genuinely change lives.
Blackpool and Fylde College has long been a champion of practical, career‑focused education, and this week highlights exactly why: apprentices leave with confidence, experience, and a clear sense of direction.
Whether it’s early years, health and social care, engineering, digital, hospitality, construction or any of the college’s many specialist areas, the energy on campus during National Apprenticeship Week reflects a community committed to helping people thrive.

🌟 Skills Week Success! 🌟
Last week, learners and apprentices from our Health & Education, Adult Learning, and Apprenticeship courses took part in WorldSkills UK virtual international pressure tests.
These challenges are designed to push technical skills under real-world pressure, helping participants build confidence, resilience, and excellence in their craft. 💪
A huge well done to everyone who stepped up and showcased their talent! 👏
