Overview

Celebrating apprenticeships

The UCEM Built Environment Apprenticeship Awards 2025 was a fantastic celebration of the talent, dedication, and achievements of apprentices and employers across the sector. Held on Thursday 13 February in central London, the event recognised individuals making a significant impact in the built environment through apprenticeship programmes.

Looking ahead

The event reaffirmed UCEM’s commitment to empowering apprentices and industry partners. As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to supporting the next generation of built environment professionals.

Thank you to all who attended and contributed to making the UCEM Built Environment Apprenticeship Awards a success!
