Alliance Learning's Operations Executive, Paul Cocker said:

"As one of the leading training providers in the North West, Alliance Learning are at the forefront of skill based learning for local employers and potential learners. With this is in mind, we are urging people to come along to one of our open days to take a closer look at our facilities and have a chat about how an apprenticeship course could help them.

"Apprenticeship schemes are all about giving young people a chance to gain skills in a trade they are passionate about and at the same time give employers an opportunity to support them without applying a financial strain on their own company."
