Snowdonia Hospitality & Leisure Ltd was proud to sponsor the Apprentice of the Year category at this year’s Grŵp Llandrillo Menai Work Based Learning Awards, an event that celebrates the brightest emerging talent across various industries in North Wales. Our commitment to supporting apprenticeships aligned perfectly with Wythnos Prentisiaethau Cymru – National Apprenticeship Week, which highlights the value of vocational training and career development.
Investing in the Future – Buddsoddi i’r Dyfodol
The hospitality industry thrives on passion, skill, and innovation, and apprenticeships are key to developing the next generation of professionals. By providing structured, hands-on training, apprenticeships offer a vital pathway for young people to gain real-world experience while earning qualifications.
At Snowdonia Hospitality & Leisure, we’ve seen firsthand the impact of nurturing fresh #talent. From kitchens to front-of-house roles, today’s apprentices become tomorrow’s leaders. We believe in giving young professionals the tools, training, and opportunities they need to excel, grow, and shape the future of the industry.
Why Apprenticeships Matter – Pam Mae Prentisiaethau’n Bwysig
Sponsoring the #Apprentice of the Year award is more than just recognition – it’s about #celebrating ambition, hard work, and dedication. The award acknowledges individuals who have demonstrated exceptional skill, commitment, and potential in their chosen field. These apprentices represent the future of their industries, and we’re excited to shine a spotlight on their achievements.
