Lobby group Mersey Maritime Group, via its sister company the Maritime and Engineering College North West (MECNW), is currently developing a new range of apprenticeships for the maritime and logistics sector.
A Mersey Maritime spokesperson said that there is currently a very small window of opportunity in which the college can apply to deliver an International Trade Apprenticeship, with the benefit of 18 months’ funded salary for learners, based at the college in Monks Ferry, Birkenhead.
Formerly called the Laird Foundation, the college has operated since 1998 as a centre for vocational training in the maritime, engineering, manufacturing and related sectors.
Employers who are want to recruit young people into their organisation should contact Mersey Maritime now.
The deadline for recruitment into the programme is March 31.
