The winners of the national Apprenticeship Awards 2009 were announced by Rugby World Champion Matt Dawson. In total there were over 1,000 entries across 8 categories for both apprenticeship employers & apprentices themselves. Speaking of the awards, Matt Dawson said, "It's a real honour to be involved in this year's national Apprenticeship Awards. I believe Apprenticeships are tremendously important to Britain's future, they unlock talent and provide a viable, alternative route for young people to pursue a career. "No one knows more than me just how important training is to help you bring your A-game to the pitch. These winners have shown that they are not only true team players but they really are at the top of their game in their respective areas."
