Why Salford?

The University provide a high quality and dedicated apprenticeship programme which is fully integrated and supportive in its mentorship and involves the mentors within our organisation ensuring a successful outcome for all.

What are the main benefits to your organisation of the apprenticeship route?

The apprentice is keen and unbiased and provides a new and fresh outlook on our process and procedures, offering a new perspective which improves our practices and methods. It is valuable also for our mentors and line managers to learn from the apprentice. To bring in and grow a person is an opportunity and a privilege and provides for an all-round committed and professional employee. The apprentice gains real-life experiences and can apply their learning to assist in overcoming the day-to-day challenges of the role. Our apprentices truly become an integral and valuable team member for the business.
