More than 60 young people from Stockport are to receive certificates for taking part in the ‘Compass’ scheme which could help them gain apprenticeships. The success of 14 to 16 year olds will be celebrated at a special ceremony on Wednesday 19th May at the Town Hall.

Compass is part of the newly formed 14-19 Services which is part of the Council’s Children and Young People’s Directorate and provides work based learning opportunities for young people as part of their educational programme.

Compass has been running for five years and during that time has worked closely with local employers, colleges and training providers and has developed an excellent record in progressing young people onto positive employment, apprenticeships or college.

For more information on Compass Training opportunities contact, Compass Co-ordinator John Gibbins on 0161 480 2679.
