A NEW partner has joined forces with Huddersfield Town.
Leeds-based Blue Apple Training, which has more than 15 years experience in the “Welfare to Work” and recruitment industries will use the football club’s facilities at the John Smith’s Stadium and Canalside sports complex to run training courses to help unemployed back into jobs.
Blue Apple Training owners Mike Gore and John Perrin joined tutor Joanne Wray alongside Town commercial director Sean Jarvis and international development manager Ajin Abraham to announce the new partnership.
Said Mr Jarvis: “We are well aware of Blue Apple Training’s excellent training programmes as they have worked closely with Kirklees College, another valued club partner, for some time now and we’re very happy to provide a well-known base and an opportunity for the two organisations to help the unemployed and youths not in education, employment or training to get back on track.”
Mr Perrin said: “We want to stand out as a training and recruitment organisation and we want those who come on our courses to stand out when they apply for vacancies and attend job interviews.
“We are working with local employers to offer free bespoke recruitment solutions as well as working with the Job Centre Plus and Work Programme providers to help and support the unemployed in and around the Huddersfield area.
“We work closely with our learners over a four or five-week period and so we get to know them, their strengths, their attitude and work ethic and then we can confidently put the right people forward for interview to the employers with whom we work in partnership.”
