Skills for Care:Apprenticeship newsletter

The first edition of Skills for Care’s apprenticeship newsletter looks at good practice from around the region including:

• Salford City Council who have recently registered 28 of its existing employees to complete an apprenticeship in health and social care.
• Jac Bradley and Danielle Parker, two young apprentices from Manor House, who tell us about their experiences as apprentices in social care.
• Cheshire Centre for Independent Living who are running a pilot project providing apprenticeships for personal assistants.
