Will create 50 apprenticeships
The University of Manchester has pledged to create 50 apprenticeship places in the coming year, which will boost the regional economy by GBP5m. Apprentices will be employed in various roles across the University, including lab technicians, workshop roles and administrative posts.
John Myers, Head of Apprenticeships in Greater Manchester for the National Apprenticeship Service, said: “The University is the most significant employer in the City and we are delighted they have chosen to show such civic leadership by supporting local communities through an Apprenticeship programme of scale.
“Apprentices add significantly to the local economy with the National Audit Office estimating that for every £1 of Government Investment there is £18 of added value back for the local economy.”
