We are delighted to announce that Savient Limited received the highly commended award for The Gatsby T Level Employer of the Year Award at the Southwest National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards 2024.

Feedback from the judges was “so much talent on display it wasn’t an easy decision for our judges, they had some incredible things to say about our highly commended finalists too, our highly commended winner is marking remarkable strives in advancing T-Levels and earning praise from the judges for their standout entry and highlighted their impressive achievements so well done Savient Limited.”

The National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards celebrates its 21st anniversary in 2024 and for the very first time includes awards to recognise T Level students and employers. The awards are designed to reward the achievements of exceptional apprentices and T Level students, skills champions, and apprenticeship and T Level employers. Each regional ceremony recognises apprentices and T Level students that have gone above and beyond to make a difference whilst undertaking their apprenticeship or T Level, exceptionally dedicated apprenticeship employers, T Level employers and individuals who champion skills and all their benefits. Apprenticeship and T Level employers, apprentices and T Level students and skills champions from all industries entered the awards. These finalists are apprenticeship and T Level exemplars, highlighting best practice across recruitment excellence, high quality training practices, diversity and career progression.

Sarah James said “we are proud of our T-Level industry placement students, seeing how they thrive with fulfilling and meaningful workplace opportunities we have provided. Not just developing their technical ability but essential skills needed to stand out from the crowd. We are passionate about our outreach strategy and hope the yearlong T-Level placement opportunities we provide to students encourage them to consider a STEM career. We have seen how a T-Level placement opportunity have created an apprenticeship within our business, and we hope to provide this opportunity for future outstanding T-Level students as Savient continues to support future generations.”

Congratulations to all the finalists, highly commended and award winners for all the regional events. Yesterday it was wonderful to highlight the successes of the regional and hearing such inspirational and passionate individuals and business talking about their apprenticeship and T-Level journeys was amazing and Savient Limited are proud to be involved in supporting the future generations.
