THIRD ANNUAL CELEBRATION LUNCH

Thank you for attending our employers’ lunch.  Many contributions were received for our charity raffle.  We raised £410 for the Sun Rise Appeal, which is taking place through the Spinal Unit at Southport Hospital.

Our guest speaker, Neil Scales, OBE spoke about the “skills pledge” and the role of his own organisation, Merseytravel.

Train to Gain and Higher Education

There are changes planed for funding of higher level courses through the Train to Gain programme which will be posted on our new Employer Services website.

In the meantime, if you have any questions relating to training and funding, please contact our Train to Gain Manager, Liz Halsworth.
