Now is the time for new recruits

OLDHAM College has launched a new campaign to encourage employers to consider recruiting apprentices over the summer.

Entitled Now is the Time, the scheme is designed to help the scores of students who will be looking for work or training opportunities as their college courses finish.

To coincide with this campaign, the college has set up a dedicated recruitment team which can help employers to fulfil their apprenticeship and recruitment needs.

Passionate

Recruitment advisers have many years’ experience across a variety of sector areas and are looking forward to helping businesses in the region.

Alun Francis, principal and chief executive of Oldham College, said: “Our educational focus at Oldham College is on vocational learning with academic rigour.

“Apprenticeships are so important to the people and the economy. Through apprenticeships we help to transform people’s lives, generate a more highly-skilled workforce in the region, stimulate growth and strengthen our economy.

“Oldham College is passionate about providing employment, training and educational opportunities for its communities and aims to help every student reach their full potential.

“The college offers a learning environment with industry-standard facilities and has close links with many local, regional and national employers.”
