Apprenticeship network
The apprenticeship network is for anyone who is studying an apprenticeship at CWPT up to a Level 4, whatever stage you are at in your apprenticeship journey. We have regular speakers and different subjects to support our apprentices with their studying, job roles or off the job training.
How to get involved
Staff members can join the network by contacting the Trust's Talent for Care Team. Email talentforcare@covwarkpt.nhs.uk.
