Digital apprentice provider sees increase in opportunities following lifting of restrictions

Mark Norse

A North West digital and IT apprenticeship provider has doubled in sized and pledged 200 more roles in the coming year.

NowSkills, which has offices in Bolton, Liverpool and Manchester, has relocated to a bigger head office and teaching suite in Bolton, and recruited three new high-level tutors to train and mentor the extra apprentices.

The company has also recruited an extra eight sales and office support team members across its three sites.

This follows news that NowSkills reported 83% more current opportunities for people aged 16+, with employers such as Aintree NHS Trust, Titan Networks, Club Systems and Telesis.

It coincides with the Government lifting its work-from-home-guidance, which has led to extra places for digital & IT apprentices of all ages and stages of their careers.

NowSkills managing director, Mark Norse, said: “We are seeing a clear rise in demand for digital apprentices across many industries and in all corners of the North West.

“These are significant appointments for us as we enter a period of growth. Last year we had 120 apprentices placed within organisations from Burnley to Bollington and this year, we already have 220.

“We are aiming for our biggest year to date, offering 400 plus digital & IT apprenticeships as the UK returns to normal working patterns.”

NowSkills offers specialist digital and IT apprenticeships for roles including software developer, information communications technician, analyst and digital marketer.

Ofsted rated Good, NowSkills has a 100% pass rate plus many merits and distinctions, and it said 98% of apprentices go on to secure full time employment.
