THE Bolton & Bury Chamber of Commerce can offer young people aged 16-25 years who are employed at local companies, the opportunity to gain a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) as Administration Modern Apprentices.

The NVQ level 2 and 3 is geared around the young person in the workplace and opens up a partnership between the employer, apprentice, Chamber of Commerce and Bolton & Bury Training & Enterprise Council.

The Chamber's latest initiative is to offer this qualification with a difference. It offers the young person a challenge, a chance to work together in a group, learning the art of communication and the opportunity not only to enhance the skills brought from school, or other job experiences, but new skills, which will be highlighted in the final results of the coursework. Further details from Jean Sawyer on Bolton 526526.
