The end of May saw HWGTA’s final apprentice residential of the year, supporting over 100 apprentices from engineering and commerce pathways across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. These residentials are a distinctive feature of our learner journey, offering apprentices the chance to step beyond their usual environment, forge relationships, develop independence, and build confidence.
Our commitment to innovative training is one of the reasons HWGTA is rated Ofsted Outstanding. Across three weeks, we witnessed significant personal development—one apprentice shared, “I feel like a completely different person compared to when I started the week.” Experiences like these help nurture resilience and equip learners for both professional and personal challenges.
This success is made possible by careful planning and the dedication of our staff. Sincere thanks to everyone involved for their energy and commitment; your hard work is at the heart of what makes HWGTA special.
We are proud of the impact these weeks have on our apprentices and look forward to continuing to support future cohorts.
