Held annually in Birmingham, the Multicultural Apprenticeship Awards are designed to celebrate talent and diversity through their recognition of multicultural British apprentices, as well as their employers and learning providers. The 30 awards, across 16 different categories, highlight the achievements of apprentices and the contribution of employers in overcoming adversity. A panel of 20 expert judges reviewed over 450 submissions to select the winners this year.

Aymen successfully completed a Level 3 Data Technician Apprenticeship in the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (CEGE) and has now secured a position as a Teaching & Learning Administrator (Process & Teaching Support) at the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê School of Management.

On being given the award Aymen said:

"This award is dedicated to all those who have faced adversity. I hope that this inspires others to seek change to make apprenticeships accessible to all"

On hearing the announcement, Paula Sandamas, Apprenticeship Manager (Academic and Professional Services) said: 

"I want to congratulate Aymen on this amazing achievement. This award recognises Aymen’s hard work and commitment to his apprenticeship and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê, and his enthusiasm and encouragement of others to undertake an apprenticeship to develop skills for a successful career. Aymen has been a fantastic ambassador for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Apprenticeships and I know he has the skills and determination for a successful future.â€Â
