Students attending post-16 colleges in Stockport are showing a lot of interest in the borough’s first ‘Apprenticeship Store.’ The new facility located in Stockport Exchange (formerly Grand Central) aims to encourage young people to consider apprenticeships. It advertises available apprenticeships and young people can apply immediately for the ones which attract their interest.
Services include:
– Helping young people to sign up to the national apprenticeship website;
– Creating a professional CV;
– Helping young people with interview techniques to ensure they are as professional as possible to perspective employers;
– Enabling young people to gain an insight into the role of an apprentice by talking to apprentices employed by Stockport Council;
The Store works closely with other Council departments and external agencies including the National Careers Service and Job Centre Plus to offer advice and guidance.
The Apprenticeship Store is in Stockport Exchange, next to the Life Leisure Gym at Grand Central Pools and opposite the multiplex cinema. It opens Monday to Friday, 10am-4:30pm. For more information contact 14-19 Services on 0161 474 2350.
