It has been over a year since our journey started as apprentices for Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service. So much has changed and each of us have grown so much as individuals. I can proudly say myself and the other apprentices have secured ourselves jobs within the service and have started our dream careers.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the members of Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service and The Manchester College staff for the support that they have invested in us for the past 12 months. We really couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you to you, the public, for reading about all our experiences and supporting the apprentices with your positive feedback.
Writing the blog has been a significant part of my apprenticeship and promoting the fantastic work Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service do with young people like me. Behind the scenes, Chris Toon who wrote the blog last year as an apprentice and gained a full time CSA role has been my editor and my helper when I have had a case of writers block. I have also now got the pleasure of telling you that on the 9th March, 13 young people joined us as the new apprentices of GMFRS.
Last week Chris and I met the new apprentices and introduced them to the work we have completed on the blog alongside staff from the Corporate Communications Department. It was our mission to recruit the new apprentices to take over writing for the apprentice blog with their own new experiences. We had a lot of interest and I’m very excited to read what they have been up to.
Ella is one of our new Community Safety Advisor Apprentices that we will be hearing from in the near future, she said;
'When I joined the Princes Trust team, I never thought I'd end up where I have but it's the best opportunity I've been given. All hard work has paid off and I'm looking forward to starting my apprenticeship as a Community Safety Advisor'
We will be uploading new stories to the blog on a regular basis, updating you on what the new apprentices have been up to.
