Northumberland Skills is delighted to welcome another fantastic group of apprentices who have recently started their Level 3 Business Administrator apprenticeship training with them 👏

A big welcome to Northumberland Skills newest apprentices from two of their employer partners, alongside one familiar face who's already well into her apprenticeship journey:

🌟 Age UK Gateshead – Ethan and Kendra, who are joining Anna to study for their apprenticeship (Pictured L–R: Anna, Ethan and Kendra)

🌟 Commercial Maintenance Services – Caitlin, Luke, Alfie, Fara-Grace and Jessica (pictured left to right)

Through their apprenticeships, they'll combine valuable workplace experience with specialist training at Northumberland Skills, developing the knowledge, practical skills and professional behaviours needed to thrive in a business environment.

👏 A huge thank you to Age UK Gateshead and Commercial Maintenance Services UK Ltd for investing in their people and recognising the value of apprenticeships in developing a skilled, confident workforce for the future.

The team is excited to support its newest apprentices as they begin their learning journey and is looking forward to celebrating everyone's progress and achievements!
