This week St
Helens College launches its 100 Apprenticeships in 100 days initiative, in
conjunction with St Helens Star. This marks another exciting step on the
College’s continuing mission to provide high quality education and skills for
the people in our local community.
Our aim is
to fill 100 Apprenticeships in 100 days. This scheme will demonstrate how
businesses can benefit by bringing apprentices into their organisations. Apprentices
can be an integral cog in any business and this campaign is designed to develop
the talent that will take businesses of all types and size forward. Apprentices can lead to increased
productivity, lower training and recruitment costs, skills gaps being filled
and grants for employers.
St Helens College is
committed to the local region and we are calling on employers to pledge
their support to this campaign and in doing so demonstrate their commitment to
economic growth, local opportunities and raising the profile of
apprenticeships.
All
employers and businesses are welcome to join up and show their support
including public and private sector organisations, large businesses, smaller
enterprises and sole traders. Filling 100 Apprenticeships in 100 days is going
to be a tough challenge but the rewards will be great. We believe it can be
done – but only with your help!

your support now, contact the St Helens College Business Unit on 01744 62 34 24
