Apprenticeships offer young people the opportunity to take their first steps into their chosen career, gaining the experience, skills and knowledge they need to help them succeed in the future.
The opportunities on offer for apprentices have never been so great. Employers from across 170 industries have thousands of roles available from IT Web and Telecoms to Creative and Digital Media and Fitness Instructor to Civil Engineering.
The Get In – Go Far campaign is encouraging young people and their parents to look into apprenticeships and see whether the opportunities that these offer could be for them.
Stockport Council is supporting the campaign and urging young people who are thinking about the next step on their career journey to consider an apprenticeship and whether this could be for them. Hundreds of young people from across Stockport have already benefited from doing just this and are now enjoying successful careers in their chosen field.
Stockport’s Apprenticeships Store offers advice to anyone looking into Apprenticeships as well as support in finding a suitable job. They currently have access to over 800 vacancies, all within a 10 miles of Stockport, from accounting and animal care to warehousing and web development.
From 15th to 26th August, the Apprenticeships Store are holding drop in sessions at their offices in Stockport Exchange where you can come along, learn more about Apprenticeships and find out about jobs available locally. Alternatively you can find out more online or speak to advisers via our Live Chat at www.stockport.gov.uk/
Councillor Dean Fitzpatrick, Executive Member for Education at Stockport Council said: “It is important to ensure that young people in Stockport get the support and advice they need as they start out on their career journeys.
“I would encourage anyone getting exam results or thinking about their future to consider an apprenticeship and look into the opportunities these could offer you.”
