Jill Nagy, chief executive at Rochdale Training said: “We are proud of the employers who design, supply, engineer, build and manufacture in Greater Manchester. We want to support business growth with apprentices who are eager to learn. Over the coming months, hundreds of young sons and daughters will be looking for their first steps on the career ladder. In 2023, employers recruited over 300 new apprentices with us. I hope we can future-proof your business with an apprentice in 2024.”
