Greater Manchester Police is welcoming 91 new apprentices as part of its latest batch of recruits.

The programme, which first launched in 2013, has so far created 335 opportunities for young people from a range of diverse communities across Greater Manchester.

The latest batch joined on 11 September with 86 joining various divisions and branches in admin support roles and the rest being posted to the call handling team in the Force’s operational communication branch. All 91 will spend the next 12 months working in the Force.

Amanda Mosley, who coordinates GMP’s apprentice scheme, said: “Our apprentices perform a vital role in GMP, working alongside police officers and staff in a variety of teams providing administrative support and excellent customer service to our partners and the public.

“They are given full training and support and learn skills to help them secure permanent positions. We want to ensure they are able to flourish and become a part of not only GMP’s success but also that of the region and the wider economy.”
