New recruits receive awards for progress
SOME of Rochdale Boroughwide Housing’s newest employees are celebrating success following the announcement of the 2019 apprentice and trainee award winners.
RBH has a key role in helping to build the local economy - including pro-actively supporting local businesses, offering apprenticeships and skills training and boosting social impact through a range of community wellbeing programmes.
The annual trainee and apprenticeship schemes have an excellent record of success, with the majority of each cohort finding permanent employment with either RBH or another employer. The awards are a chance to recognise and reward the achievement of these colleagues.
All apprentices and trainees are entered into an annual Trainee and Apprentice Awards. Supervisors, college assessors and learning and development mentors are all asked to provide feedback on how each apprentice or trainee is performing and a winner in each of three categories is chosen.
The winners for 2019 were announced in a packed ceremony at the Pioneers Museum attended by candidates, work friends and their trainers and mentors. The winners for this year were:
Trainee of the Year – Liliia Trenko; Apprentice of the Year (First year) – Jake McNally; Craft Apprentice of the Year – Matthew Worrall.
Matthew Worrall was also selected as overall winner for the progress he had made during the year.
Besides receiving their awards, the winners were also given High Street vouchers.
