Last week we had the pleasure of hosting a development day at our Business Centre for our talented apprentices at GXO Logistics, Inc. The event was a great success, providing a unique opportunity for the Level 2 Supply Chain Warehouse Operative Standard apprentices to attend workshops and learn more about the facilities available through their apprenticeships at Barnsley College. Tommy Mansell, Tutorial Learning Mentor for Apprenticeships said: "It was great to see GXO make use of the College facilities to host their development day for apprentices. We were able to provide workshops to support their wellbeing and allow them the time to interact with apprentices they might not usually meet. Overall, it was a fantastic day!" A big thank you to everyone involved in making this day a success! We look forward to more events that help our apprentices grow and thrive.
