The Skills Place Newham backs the Mayor of London’s Apprenticeship plans.

 

The Skills Place Newham is supporting the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson’s campaign to create 100,000 new apprenticeships for the capital by the end of 2012.

 

The Skills Place Newham based at Westfield Stratford City will be assisting the retail shopping centre giant, to add 200 apprenticeship places to the campaign’s total across its Westfield Stratford City and Westfield London retail centres.

 

Making the announcement on Tuesday to mark the start of National Apprenticeship Week, the Mayor declared that he is more than half way to hitting his target of creating 100,000 apprenticeships and with the contribution from Westfield, with the support of The Skills Place Newham, the campaign has been further boosted.

 

The Skills Place Newham is managed by Seetec, one of the UK’s leading training and employment specialists, working in partnership with the London Borough of Newham and Westfield, to provide a first class training facility to residents of Newham and across London.

 

Specialising in retail, leisure, hospitality and customer service, this unique academy offers state of the art facilities, including a mock shop for visual merchandising and barista area for hospitality training.

 

Since its launch in September 2011, thousands of students have entered through The Skills Place Newham’s doors to be inspired, motivated and trained in these huge employment sectors.

 

Seetec’s Chief Executive Jeremy Nutter said, “We fully support the Mayor of London in his endeavors to get the capital’s young people into the work place. Seetec is a keen supporter of National Apprenticeship Week, which is now in its fifth year, through a range of activities across its centres around the UK, to ensure that businesses big and small release the talent of our younger generation.”

 

Michael Gutman, Managing Director for Westfield Europe and New Markets, said: “There are many career pathways and opportunities within Westfield and we are delighted to support the Mayor’s apprenticeships programme as we announce our ambition to see 200 apprenticeships created across our Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City centres during 2012. This specialised training provides apprentices with an excellent, income-earning route to gaining important skills and qualifications as well as benefiting the end-users who hire them.”
