IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPRENTICE EMPLOYERS ABOUT CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

If you are looking at apprenticeships as one of your school leaver options, you'll want to understand not only what types of apprenticeships there are, but also what you'll get paid. 

Learners at PM Training recently had the chance to meet apprentices from a variety of different sectors from business, customer service, HR, painting and decorating, grounds maintenance and more.

A huge well done to Aspire Housing apprentice Alex Michalski, 20, who has smashed his customer service practitioner apprenticeship with a distinction! 

Celeste Green, 18, from Stoke-on-Trent, is passionate about helping more women into trade roles and see's her journey to become a painting and decorating apprentice as inspiration for others.

Apprenticeships can open up so many doors for career progression. This is the story of Dale, someone who after achieving his A-levels and gaining places at Universities in London and Staffordshire, found his perfect learning style through apprenticeships and is now enjoying a new full-time role as a Data Administrator. 

Jay Welch, 16, has recently started his apprenticeship journey and is learning his trade as part of a maintenance service funded by Realise charity.

Creating a CV might seem like a daunting task, but it’s something that everyone needs to do at some point in their lives. A CV is the first opportunity to show a potential employer who you are and why they should hire you, so it’s important to create a great first impression.

Congratulations to two learners who have excelled in our November 2019 'Learner of the Month'.  We are celebrating two individual winners of our Learner of the Month who have excelled in developing their essential skills in the workplace including time-keeping, attendance, attitude and social skills. Learners are voted for by members of staff from across PM Training who have seen first hand how they are progressing in their chosen fields and apprenticeships.

Apprentice Kyle Yemm ,16 of Chesterton, is progressing well after being on programme for just a matter of weeks before getting an apprenticeship. After leaving school, Kyle wanted to get straight into his apprenticeship journey and worked hard to achieve success in such a small amount of time!
