Get Ready For National Careers Week (NCW), 4th – 9th March!
National Careers Week is a celebration of career possibilities, tailored to helping you make informed career choices.
The Lord Mayor of York, Councillor Janet Looker, officially opened the training facility earlier this month.
She was joined by local employers, who were given a tour of the centre. They also had the chance to speak to current JTL apprentices and trainers to find out more about the wide range of opportunities available to them in the local area.
Following a £500,000 investment, the centre – located in the Osbaldwick area of York – has been designed with a brand new and fully equipped electrical workshop.
It offers 6,000 sq ft of teaching and workshop space over two floors. It comprises two modern teaching rooms, a meeting room, a refectory area and bright, modern double height workshops.
JTL’s Chief Executive, Jon Graham, said: “We are delighted to have welcomed the Lord Mayor to our York centre and showcase our brand-new facilities.
“It was fantastic to share the day with local employers too, as we believe it’s important to work collaboratively with these businesses, as we develop their future employees.
“Here at York, we’re proud to now be home to 30 first year learners and 14 second year learners. We look forward to welcoming more new apprentices and employers in the future”.
This facility is the latest in a string of dedicated centres and joint ventures JTL has launched in the last few years. In addition to York, JTL also has centres in Birmingham, Tankersley, Norwich, Oxford, Yeovil, Orpington, Maidstone, Ashford, Preston, Carlisle and Langley Mill in Nottinghamshire.
