YOUNG people flocked to an open day at Oldham Training Centre (OTC) to get advice on apprenticeship and training opportunities.
The Lees Road-based centre held the open day event to highlight its vocational training programmes with local firms.
The group training centre focuses on training people in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and fabrication and welding skills but also offers other courses in business administration, customer service, health and safety, management and fork lift truck operating.
Apprentices programmes make up a big part of its work, especially training young school and college-leavers for manufacturing roles where science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem subjects) are important.
If you missed the first open day, a second one will be held tomorrow.
