What do our current employers say?

Dylan Frasier-Kelly from Jackson Lee Accountants spoke about the benefits of hiring an apprentice. He said: “I would recommend it to anyone. Employing an apprentice is great for your business. In terms of advice, I would try and relate some of the training in the workplace to what the learner will be undertaking in his assessments.”

Pamela Houghton, Manager at High Meadows Day Nursery, was praised for her work with Bury College apprentices and in February received a Bury College Employer Star Award. She added: “It has allowed us to upskill some of our existing staff members as they have taken on additional responsibilities as mentors and coaches. The apprentices themselves have also brought a lot to the Nursery and they are constantly researching new ideas.”
