On the March 7 the apprentices attended The Manchester College. However, rather than the usual Friday of classroom learning, we turned up smart, in uniform for a slightly different afternoon.
The Manchester College has been involved in creating the Fifty in Five Scheme for national apprenticeship week. The idea behind it was to take on fifty apprentices in five days. The Manchester College were able to achieve this and we were invited down on the fifth day for a little cake and a celebration. We brought down a fire engine and our driving simulator to educate the students about road safety in line with our Community Safety messages.
We also had the pleasure of meeting Jack Webster who is Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Services newest apprentice. Jack was the fiftieth apprentice to sign up to the Fifty in Five Scheme and he is now working with our Incident Command IT team.
