PM Training is celebrating National Apprenticeship Week from 6-11 February with a range of activities to extend the skills it offers, including open days, a town centre exhibition and its 15 year Homeworks service awards.
Karen Bradley, Conservative MP for Staffordshire Moorlands, visited successful training provider PM Training which has expanded in Leek, providing more job opportunities to young people in the area.
Driving lessons can be very expensive, especially for young people, making it harder for them to find employment without a licence. PM Training recognises this hurdle and is now able to match fund lessons for apprentices who apply, via the Realise Foundation.
The Mayor of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Cllr Trevor Hambleton, will be officially opening PM Training’s new £500,000 centre at Brick Kiln Lane, Chesterton, on 8 December.
Young learners and apprentices across North Staffordshire have been working together with the community to spruce up the historic Foxlowe Arts Centre building in Leek.
Two top apprentices will each receive a year’s free membership at Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council’s flagship leisure facility Jubilee2 in recognition of their work.
Housing minister Grant Shapps visited PM Training today (Thursday, 3 November) as part of a tour of Stoke-on-Trent.
More job opportunities will be offered to young people from Staffordshire when a successful training provider expands in January 2012.
