Learners at PM Training recently had the chance to meet apprentices from a variety of different sectors from business, customer service, HR, painting and decorating, grounds maintenance and more.

A huge well done to Aspire Housing apprentice Alex Michalski, 20, who has smashed his customer service practitioner apprenticeship with a distinction! 

Celeste Green, 18, from Stoke-on-Trent, is passionate about helping more women into trade roles and see's her journey to become a painting and decorating apprentice as inspiration for others.

Apprenticeships can open up so many doors for career progression. This is the story of Dale, someone who after achieving his A-levels and gaining places at Universities in London and Staffordshire, found his perfect learning style through apprenticeships and is now enjoying a new full-time role as a Data Administrator. 

Jay Welch, 16, has recently started his apprenticeship journey and is learning his trade as part of a maintenance service funded by Realise charity.
