Just before Christmas Rochdale Training closed its collection for The Sanctuary Trust and dropped off all items that were kindly donated by members of staff! The Sanctuary Trust is a charity organisation that helps the homeless in Rochdale all year round but they still need your help just after Christmas, for more information on how you can help please visit: https://sanctuarytrust.org.uk/.../rochdale-community-shop/

In December we held a retirement party for one of our Engineering Team members Steve Kovaks. Steve taught over 250 learners who are now in successful engineering roles around the globe. His manager Rachel gave a lovely speech and it was followed by a wonderful farewell from Steve, from everyone here at Rochdale Training we wish Steve all the best and a long, happy retirement!

Our Apprentice Academy Learners held an amazing Winter Wonderland event in the breakout this morning for their closing group project! The learners demonstrated amazing communication, organisation and cooperation skills throughout the morning, ensuring all members of staff and learners had a great time. Along with the Winter Wonderland, we had Wear Your Woollies day here at Rochdale Training to raise money for Springhill Hospice. All the money from the different stalls and donations from staff will be donated to Springhill Hospice, in total we raised an amazing £134!
