Rochdale Skills Event

Written by Apprentice Business Safety Advisor Laura Broughton

In March, one of our Business Safety Advisor Apprentices – Dominic Traynor – attended Rockdale’s Skills event along with local businesses to give Year 9 students the opportunity to explore different jobs and training options. Throughout the day, Dominic and other members on the team promoted our Community Fire Cadet Schemes, Volunteering opportunities and different pathways available to become part of GMFRS.

On speaking about the day, Dominic said: “As an apprentice with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, I am keen to speak to other young people.

“The Rochdale Skills event was an excellent opportunity to speak about my experiences so far and promote the Service’s apprenticeship scheme.

“I received positive feedback from those I spoke to, with many saying that they would consider becoming a member of the fire service through the various schemes that we have to offer.

“I believe that the event was a success and hope that we have spoken to futures members of GMFRS.”
