Our Apprentices

I decided to do an apprenticeship because I know it will help me develop the necessary skills and experience to gain my electrical qualification and, therefore, kickstart a career for myself.

This apprenticeship has benefited me by giving me a chance to develop my hands on skills, and teamwork skills as well as improving my general knowledge of how things work around a building.

What I am enjoying most about my apprenticeship is that it provides me with an experience I’ve always been keen on, which is learning new things and getting the opportunity to learn them from a qualified team that are always very helpful.

My day-to-day roles mainly involve maintaining the electrical work around the building. 

In five years, I hope to find myself a qualified electrician working at Manchester Central full time utilising the wealth of knowledge and skills I developed during my apprenticeship. 

My choice to pursue an apprenticeship was following the desire for a career change; previously working as a Graphic Designer, I was interested in exploring digital marketing. This apprenticeship is the best of both worlds for me, as I enjoy hands-on learning and applying it in practice - I already feel like I've learned a huge amount and I'm hungry to learn more!

No two days are the same for me within the marketing and communications team, which I love! I work across our social media channels, creating content and engaging with our communities, as well as developing content for our website and leading on projects such as the development of our 360 degree venue model.

I am really enjoying working with such a great team, in such an iconic venue in the heart of the city! It really feels like we are part of Manchester’s legacy here. 

I am looking forward to gaining both a degree and an apprenticeship qualification by the end of my course. I am hoping that in five years’ time I will have extensive experience in all areas of digital marketing, so that I can explore different sectors and continue to progress.

I started my apprenticeship to put myself on a new path, to learn and develop new skills which I will use to carve out a new career path.

The apprenticeship has benefitted me by giving me the opportunity to do something new and interesting.

My day-to-day role involves helping colleagues with technical issues, providing, and maintaining new equipment as well as being responsible for the on-boarding and off-boarding process of all team members within the business.

I am most enjoying working within a great team of people, within a great business, whilst having the ability to learn and develop on the job and enjoy what I do on a day-to-day basis.

By the end of my apprenticeship, I aim to have acquired the skillsets I'll need to maintain and enjoy a career in IT, and the many facets of the occupation itself. I hope to one day be able to take my skills universal and have the knowledge to put my hand to whatever specific field I decide is best for me.

I decided to embark on an apprenticeship as I’m able to gain structured training and valuable workplace experience whilst benefitting from the great support network and learning aids available around me.

The apprenticeship has been so beneficial to me as not only does it allow me to be more hands-on, but I’m also able to learn on the job and put those skills to practice immediately.

My day-to-day role consists of preparing and cooking high quality, fresh, local produce as per the daily offering as well as assisting and learning from the other members of our in-house catering team.

I am part of loving team at Manchester Central and I am constantly learning something new. I love that no two days are the same at the venue and there is always a new challenge every day.

I want to be pushed to challenge myself, to do competitions, and to become the best chef I can be, so that in five years’ time I can pursue my dream of having my own catering business supplying beautiful weddings and private events.

I decided to pursue an apprenticeship because I get the best of both worlds – completing my AAT qualification and gaining valuable work experience. To me it was a no brainer, taking into consideration my professional standing prior to my employment here at Manchester Central.

My apprenticeship has been great. I’ve been fortunate enough to have first-hand experience of what employment in a finance role is like and the flexibility has been incredible.

My day-to-day role requires me to issue all the licensing fees for the events here at Manchester Central as well as preparing the management accounts.

I would say my favourite part of my apprenticeship is practising the skills I learned prior to my employment. It’s also given me the chance to post my first, and many, journals since starting.

Following the completion of my apprenticeship, I want to potentially move onto a charted qualification so that in five years’ time I can hopefully be working toward a senior role.

I have always had a keen interest in logistical, supply chain and procurement processes and although having experience working within, or close to, these areas; I really wanted to learn the professional standards.  

My day-to-day roles involves supporting the development of consistent procurement processes and procedures. I am a key contact for the procurement function, which involves authorising supplier requests, reviewing requisitions and managing and maintaining the supplier database to ensure all information and legislative documentation is up to date.

I am hoping my apprenticeship will allow me to progress within the company – I want to utilise the stills I have gained alongside my current role and aim to develop into a more senior role.

I decided to do an apprenticeship because I wanted to enhance my skillset. An added bonus to completing an apprenticeship is that I am still able work full time while I learn new skills. My apprenticeship has benefitted me by giving me the opportunity to dive further into knowledge I already have. I am learning new things every week and it helps that I can put my new skills to practice in my role at work. 

My apprenticeship is all about the data foundations within HR. It involves pulling data from a source to give it structure, cleanse it, and then analyse it. Throughout the course there are many modules we have to complete ranging from excel, compelling data stories, using power BI, and HR Masterclasses.

What I am enjoying the most about my apprenticeship is learning more about HR and diving deeper into the data that sits within the department. I like that the apprenticeship is challenging me to push myself into the world of data. 

I look forward to gaining my apprenticeship qualification, and hopefully this will allow me to progress within the company so I can use my skills to look into our data. I hope in 5 year's time I will have gained more knowledge and experience in the world of data and continue to progress, hopefully entering into a new role that focuses on the data side of a company.
