Yes Manchester Awarded SILVER Employer Status by Manchester College!
July 10th 2024
We’re delighted to announce that Yes Manchester has been awarded ‘SILVER’ Employer status by the Manchester College! recognizing our commitment and contributions to the work readiness of Manchester College students during the 2023-2024 academic year.
Throughout the year, five students from the Manchester College joined our fantastic team of volunteers, providing much-needed digital skills support to customers from our base in Newton Heath.
Utilizing their digital skills and knowledge, the students helped to empower Yes customers, teaching them basic I.T skills, and supporting them to search and apply for employment and training opportunities online; with students not only gaining practical work experience, but playing a significant role in the achievement of the charities mission.
“We’re incredibly proud of all the students who joined us this year and are delighted to receive the SILVER Employer status from Manchester College. Together, we’ve been able to make a real impact in the community, and it’s been fantastic to see the students sharing their knowledge to build the digital skills and confidence of our service users, essential in today’s job market. We’re already looking forward to continuing our partnership with the Manchester College, and welcoming even more students in the year ahead”
