Our Apprentice Academy Learners held an amazing Winter Wonderland event in the breakout this morning for their closing group project! The learners demonstrated amazing communication, organisation and cooperation skills throughout the morning, ensuring all members of staff and learners had a great time. Along with the Winter Wonderland, we had Wear Your Woollies day here at Rochdale Training to raise money for Springhill Hospice. All the money from the different stalls and donations from staff will be donated to Springhill Hospice, in total we raised an amazing £134!

Rochdale Training has received the award for Diversity in Apprenticeships 2022!

The Diversity Awards recognise contributions made by individuals, groups and/or organisations in making progress within their organisations and/or communities towards inclusion, cohesion and diversity within the workplace and/or service provision.

Jill Nagy, Chief Executive of Rochdale Training said “We are very proud to receive this Award. Rochdale Training works hard to meet the needs of our community, embracing our diverse range of learners. We are the Home of Apprenticeships for everyone.”

White Ribbon Day happens every November as part of the UN’s annual 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign. Run by the White Ribbon UK charity, the global movement works to end men’s violence against women by raising awareness against the issue, educating boys and men as well as encouraging people to come together to put an end to it.

This morning Rochdale Training held a coffee morning to highlight the campaign and asked male staff, students, and tutors to agree to the White Ribbon promise to end violence towards women and girls.

"I promise to never excuse, use or remain silent about men's violence towards women"
