Employer Relationships Team

Here at Runshaw College we have a dedicated team who works with employers and apprentices alike. We have a matching service available to all our partner employers to match potential apprentices to the best job vacancy for them which will kickstart their career. The team is made up of colleagues with a wealth of experience in all aspects of apprenticeships including having an apprentice in the team.

We offer a 360 service for our partner employers to work from job advertisement, to their apprentice completing their course and everything in between. Our recruitment team supports applicants with preparing their applications, interviews and career plans, ensuring that each individual is supported to meet their personal goals.
