The first cohort of apprentices has been welcomed to the inaugural programme delivered by Catch at the beacon Humber Bank training facility.
Having operated as a facilitator of skills development and competency testing for more than 15 years, direct school-leaver provision has now been added by the industry-backed member organisation.
James McIntosh, chief operating officer and director of skills at Catch, has led the move to respond to what he has described as unprecedented demand. The move was first unveiled in November last year as work with employers ahead of recruitment, began.
