It is good to be able to come back and thank you for what you have done. It was a tough time to come in and I have a sense of what you have been doing in that time supporting people who really needed the help. So, a massive thank you for doing that. I would say to you all that the skills you will learn are going to stand you in good stead for wherever you go in terms of your career. I think working in an organisation like this gives you the best possible people skills and the best customer skills.

Our apprenticeships offer the opportunity to earn and learn on the job, the opportunity to experience Stockport Homes Group culture and set them off on the right path in their working life. We are excited about growing our apprenticeship approach in the future and being a role model of what a good apprenticeship programme looks like.
