Emma left school and was struggling to find work until she came to Rochdale Training. We found her employment as an administrative assistant and she worked with such enthusiasm she completed her first stage Apprenticeship in record time. She then progressed onto the Advanced Apprenticeship and successfully achieved this too. Emma has now gained promotion at work and a 25% pay rise. Jill Nagy, the Training Manager for the Business department said, "Emma worked hard and achieved quickly and was always positive, even under difficult circumstances. Mears - her company - are delighted with her and asked if I can find them more Emma's!"
