JHP Teams with RBS to provide Diplomas in Business & Administration
Diplomas in Business & Administration
JHP Manchester has been heavily involved in the development of a new young apprenticeships initiative and has been working alongside the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) to finalise Diplomas in Business Administration for pupils at Newalll Green High school in Manchester.
After months of hard work, the RBS Diploma, in conjunction with JHP Training, has been finalised resulting in a launch event which saw over a hundred guests invited to the Royal Bank of Scotland's Hardman Boulevard building in Manchester.
On the launch night, Manchester's former Lord Mayor and Wythenshawe councillors attended along with Diploma pupils, their parents and mentors from the bank. Key members of JHP staff, senior RBS staff and the Diploma steering group were also in attendance.
The event was hosted by Louise King of the RBS and speeches were given by the Managing Director Richard Hemsley and Neil Wilson Head Teacher of Newall Green High School.
Those pupils selected for the Diploma all attend Newall Green High School and have gone through a rigorous process to gain places on the programme, including initial assessment at JHP Manchester. The pupils are as young as 13 years old and yet have managed to achieve close to Level 3 on their initial assessments.
During the evening pupils were introduced to their Diploma mentors at the bank and given goody bags as a welcome gift. A series of introductory events will take place for the Newall Green pupils over the next few months before they start their placements in September. All students will attend one day per week for two years and will be guided through their qualification by JHP Manchester.
Training Pays Off in Prize Winning Battle
A recent winner in a national awards competition has beaten personal health problems and a further 130 nominees to win himself a First Prize and gain recognition for his training achievements.
Simon Lewis, 22, a learner with JHP Milton Keynes, was nominated for the award due to the outstanding efforts he made in gaining an Accountancy Apprenticeship despite dealing with the symptoms, undiagnosed at the time, of Crohns Disease.
The JHP Training Learner Awards were launched to recognise the personal achievements of vocational trainees from across the UK and Simon deservedly won the title of 'JHP Learner of the Year for the South Region' walking away with a prize of £500 worth of Currys gift vouchers and a very pleased look on his face!
Hard-working Young Apprentices Receive Awards From Radio 1 DJs
Two Apprentices from JHP Stoke have been honoured for their hard work, innovation and perseverance at the third annual Staffordshire Apprenticeship awards. The awards were organised by the Staffordshire Providers Association (SAP) and were held at the Moat House hotel in Festival Park. The ceremony recognised young people aged between 14 and 24 who have excelled after taking on an Apprenticeship.
More than 100 youngsters entered the awards and two JHP Stoke Apprentices were short-listed. Unfortunately, neither came away the overall winner but they were both highly commended - Mark Darlington in the Apprenticeship Award category and Rebecca Ball in the Personal Achievement category.
BBC Radio 1 duo, Chappers and Comedy Dave were on hand to present the awards and after the ceremony they also played a DJ set as the post-ceremony party got into full swing.
Comedy Dave said: "It has been a fantastic evening and everybody has done really well - it has been a privilege for myself and Chappers to be here".
Hertfordshire Apprentice of the Year
Roger Black, Roy Bain and Allan O'Neill
An employee and Apprentice of JHP Training Watford was named Apprentice of the Year at the LSC Hertfordshire Celebration of Achievement Awards.
Receptionist and Administrator, Louise West, was presented her prize by none other than TV presenter and Olympic Athlete Roger Black at a ceremony that recognised the achievements of young people in vocational learning.
After leaving school without any GCSEs, Louise began an Entry to Employment programme and quickly progressed to a Foundation Apprenticeship in Business Administration. Louise then went on to finish her qualification in record time, and as a result has been recognised as Apprentice of the Year. At the ceremony Louise said:
"Winning this award means a great deal to me. Without my Apprenticeship training I probably wouldn't have got a full-time job and I would like to thank my employers and say how much I appreciate their support."
Louise was awarded a glass plaque and £100 in Virgin record vouchers; fellow staff members at JHP Watford were there to cheer her on as she was presented her prize.
