MP Visits, Awards and Roadshow for 3,000 Young People!
Bolton College is proud to be the go-to destination for hundreds of bright and ambitious apprentices so we celebrated National Apprenticeship Week 2023 with enthusiasm.
MP visits, awards and a Bolton College Apprenticeship Roadshow, enjoyed by over 3,000 young people, highlighted all that’s amazing about Apprenticeships.
The week was a huge success, showcasing all the incredible opportunities available through Apprenticeships.
We can’t wait to do the same again next year!
Hear more from Corey here:
After starting out as a barbering apprentice, Corey Dickinson is now an employer and the owner of Tonsor Male Grooming, a highly-successful barbershop with over 150 five-star reviews.
Corey preferred practical tasks at school so, after discovering a love of barbering through YouTube, he became a barbering apprentice at 16.
‘It was a challenge building my client base but I was hard working and dedicated and I soon went from five regular clients to being fully booked week in, week out.
‘At 18, I became shop manager then at 19, I bought out my boss and rebranded the barbershop to Tonsor Male Grooming.
‘I now employ three Bolton College apprentices; I want to create opportunities for those who, like me, have a passion and drive to do well.
‘Not everyone thrives at school but given the right environment, anyone can become successful and achieve qualifications.’
