Apprenticeships have changed. With more than 200 types of apprenticeships across many industry sectors, from finance, to law and engineering, to science, retail and to healthcare, there is an apprenticeship out there for you.
Apprenticeships are real jobs and real careers with training. As paid employees, apprentices earn a wage and learn on the job while also attending college and working towards nationally recognised qualifications.
At Macc we can offer a number of different training sessions, half days, full days and three days or more Commmunity Reporter programmes. These can be off the peg sessions or tailored to your organisations needs.
Tonight is the “manVcam” rally in on Albert Square in Manchester. Some local voluntary and community groups have been wondering about whether it’s appropriate to go along, so here's my take on it.
Manchester City Council’s Customer Service Centre is helping Manchester residents access employment and training support and advice services with partner organisations.
The Centre can direct you to:
• Employment support and advice from the National Careers Service, Manchester Employer Suite, Central Library Work Club and Connexions
• Training opportunities, including computer skills
• Volunteering opportunities
• Budgeting and debt advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau
As I write this, the team are just about to head over to the Mechanics Institute for today's Emergency Voluntary Sector Assembly event to discuss the impact of Council budget proposals on the work of the voluntary and community groups in Manchester.
Manchester City Council has launched the main consultation on its 2015-17 budget options, along with a number of individual consultations on specific elements.
Options for consultation were agreed by the council’s Executive on Wednesday 26 November.
They aim to address an estimated funding shortfall of £59m in 2015/16, potentially rising to £90 million in 2016/17.
A lot of people in the local voluntary sector are going to be very angry today. They’re going to feel threatened, undervalued, rejected and hopeless. The Council’s budget proposals will make horrible reading for many people who’ve been working very hard for a long time to make a difference in the city. For some groups this will mean cuts to services and activities. For many it will mean many job losses – the sector is an employer too, after all. For some this may be the last straw and we may see the end of a number of organisations that have made a great contribution to the city.
