KYP learners celebrate achievements

KYP Award Ceremony 2015 with Mayor Surinder Biant

KYP welcomed learners from the last 12 months to a ceremony to celebrate their achievements.

The ceremony was arranged to recognise and celebrate the success of learners on KYP programmes during the last 12 months who have achieved a wide variety of qualifications, ranging from Entry level 1 through to Advanced Apprenticeships at Level 3. The learners had completed programmes in Child Care, Administration, Customer Services, Health and Social Care, ESOL, Maths, English, ICT, Team Management, Food Safety and Hospitality.

Certificates were presented to the learners by Mayor Surinder Biant and the evening was hosted by Zulf Ahmed, Chief Executive of KYP.

Mayor Biant said “I felt honoured to be invited to the award ceremony at KYP. I recognise the outstanding work KYP does in Rochdale. The work of KYP is also considered outstanding nationally.”

Zulf Ahmed said: “It has been a pleasure to work with these learners and help them develop their skills and knowledge. Over the last 12 months we have increased our training offer and have been able to secure 48 young people into apprenticeship opportunities in the borough and across Greater Manchester. We have also been working with Heybrook School to improve the Maths and English skills of their teaching assistants so that they can better support the pupils that they are working with.”

KYP is an approved City & Guilds and Pearson Centre delivering a range of qualifications, including apprenticeships, working in partnership with Rochdale Training, Oldham College, EQL Solutions, Manchester College and Hopwood Hall College.
