Rochdale’s Hopwood Hall College to host apprenticeship open day

Hopwood Hall College and University Centre is hosting the event for people of all ages to learn about the apprentice training route.

The higher education establishment, which has campuses in Rochdale and Middleton, will be holding the open event at its Middleton Campus from 4:30pm-7pm on Wednesday, February 8.

Attendees will be able to hear from the college’s expert work-based tutors, meet a variety of local employers and even find out about current vacancies.

It could mark the start of an exciting journey into a new career – whether that’s for Year 11s looking for their post-school pathway or adult learners looking to retrain.

Crista Wilkieson, Director of Apprenticeships at Hopwood Hall College, said: “No matter your age or current skill set, we’d love to extend an invite to you for our upcoming apprenticeships open event.

“This training route has proven to be the ideal way to gain new skills and kick-start a fresh career for so many people – and it can for you too!

“If you’ve ever considered becoming an apprentice, then be sure to join us at the event to explore the amazing opportunities that are right on your doorstep.”

Hopwood’s apprenticeship offering has grown considerably in recent years and now includes more training routes than ever before.

This includes pathways in early years, engineering, accounting, veterinary nursing and many more.

In fact, the college recently announced the launch of a new national apprenticeship that can be undertaken remotely from anywhere in England.

The Level 3 Apprenticeship in fire, emergency and security systems will be available through distance learning and will build on the success of the in-person course that’s taught at the college’s state of the art technology centre.
