National Apprenticeship Week was an exciting and inspiring time at Bury College, filled with activities that helped mark the occasion and celebrate the exceptional talent, dedication and achievements of Apprentices.
Representatives from Bury College were among the many local professionals who gathered at the Bury Means Business networking event last week.
Held at the Village Hotel and organised by Bury Council in partnership with The Business Growth Hub, the event aimed to bring together local businesses for networking and connection opportunities.
Throughout the day, the Bury College team met with a variety of businesses and discussed a wide range of topics.
James Shuttleworth, the college’s Business Innovation Manager, reflects below:
“It was a pleasure to be part of the Bury Means Business event and highlight the range of support Bury College provides to employers including apprenticeships, T Level placements and supported internships alongside the Greater Manchester Business Innovation programme. As a college, we’re proud to play an active role in driving local growth and encouraging the skills that businesses need to thrive.”
An excellent chance to build relationships and showcase the business community in Bury.
