City of Doncaster Council celebrates National Apprenticeship Week
In the build up to National Apprenticeship Week, City of Doncaster Council is recognising the contributions of apprentices across the city and encouraging residents of all ages to consider taking up an apprenticeship if they are looking to start a new career path.
City of Doncaster Council currently employs 295 apprentices and as part of its 10-year Education and Skills strategy has committed to working with businesses across the city to increase the number of opportunities in different sectors.
Laura Smith, Network Rail’s Programme Manager for the new regional training centre, said: “We are proud to be opening our new training facility in Doncaster, a city with huge railway heritage, and in a year when we are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the railway.
 Looking to start an apprenticeship in Doncaster?
We're hosting sessions to promote the apprenticeship opportunities across our organisation on Friday 14 February at the Civic Office, DN1 3BU.
Find out about the wide range of roles we have available here in Doncaster. You will need to book a place on one of the following sessions:
Going off GRiD
As part of Children's Mental Health Week, we've launched the GRiD.
The GRiD is our new website that has been designed by young people for young people. The GRiD is tailored to teens real concerns and offers information and practical advice in an easy to understand way.
Young people don't always want to talk to their parents or guardians about their thoughts and feelings so the GRiD website is filled with resources about a range of topics that teens in Doncaster might want information, help or advice with.
Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week
This week marks Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week.
If you have been abused, harassed or assaulted, either many years ago or very recently, you are not to blame and there is always help and support available.
Rape and sexual abuse can happen in abusive relationships and from strangers, 'friends' or acquaintances. It can happen to anyone regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
