As part of our work with the Madam Mayor, Janet Emsley, we kicked off our Apprentice Tours, where we aim to highlight the fantastic work being completed by Apprentices across the borough. Today, we celebrate the achievements of women working in Engineering fields.

One of the many inspiring young women who are currently completing their Engineering Apprenticeship training with Rochdale Training is Ellie, who works at Lee Springs, based in Rochdale.

Lee Spring have been manufacturing stock and custom-made springs, formed metal parts and related products for a wide range of industries since 1918. In 2024, Lee Spring Limited made the decision to merge the manufacturing and distribution teams under one roof. Drawing on the rich history of spring making in the region, Rochdale was chosen as the town to base Lee Spring Limited for the future Manufacturing, Distribution, Accounts, Sales and Engineering operations, making the Rochdale site the head office.

Maria Clarke, 28, has successfully completed her Level 2 Adult Care apprenticeship, with Rochdale Training, marking a significant milestone in her care career. Throughout the course, Maria developed essential skills and knowledge that have greatly enhanced her confidence and ability in her role.

Maria started her role with Bluebird Care in 2021 after previously being a full-time Mum.

I was approached at Bluebird Care to complete my level 2 Adult Care worker apprenticeship, and it was a great choice as I could complete the course whilst working and would not have to attend evening classes.
