Tyler Duffy,  Transport Coordinator at A.D.D Express

Leaving school I had no idea what to do or where to start. That’s when a family friend pointed me towards Rochdale Training, and looking back now, it was the best decision I ever made.

From the moment I stepped through their doors, I knew I was in the right place. Their Future Apprenticeship Foundation Course gave me the skills and confidence I needed to step into the workplace. I learned how to communicate effectively, work in a team, and solve problems—all skills that would later prove invaluable in my career.

 But the real game-changer? Work experience.

Mission Christmas:

Winter is drawing in, and cost-of-living pressures are still weighing heavily on families across the UK.
For them, Christmas is a time of stark choices. Choices between heating their homes or buying food. Choices that strip away the magic of Christmas. No child should worry that Santa won't come. Christmas is now a luxury that some families just can’t afford. The cost-of-living crisis has pushed more families into poverty. Our mission is to give disadvantaged children the joy of a gift from Santa. To make Christmas something special for over 270,000* disadvantaged kids across the UK.

At Rochdale Training, we believe in giving back to our community, especially during the festive season. This year, two of our team members, Lisa and Lorna, took part in the Mission Christmas campaign, helping to ensure no child wakes up without a gift on Christmas morning.
