NITP opened the doors at its new Manchester site last week to its first group of young enthusiastic Apprentices; this group will be the first in the area to gain the NITP Gold Standard IT Apprenticeship approved by E-Skills. The centre, located in the city centre has already created a number of fantastic job opportunities in the Manchester area. Apprentices will be studying in the newly renovated centre as part of their programme and then spending time with their new employers applying this learning in the workplace.

Lee Harrison, centre manager said ‘We are delighted to have been able to open the centre and start training in the Manchester city and surrounding area. We are already working with many employers in the area to fill some exciting roles for young people looking to work in the IT Industry.’

Thomas Marples, National Operations Support added ‘We are excited to have a centre in Manchester and be able to find so many ambitious young individuals and excellent employers. This centre will hopefully provide Manchester with its next generation of IT staff in the region.’

NITP Manchester is a fantastic opportunity for people interested in a career in IT and organisations who are keen to take on an Apprentice, intakes run throughout the year. Contact applymanchester@nitp.co.uk or call 01612282162.
