Photo-shoot for our new website

We are busy developing a new website for Tyro, to provide clear information about the services we offer linked to immediate on-line booking.

To give this a consistent appearance, the college photographer Nathaniel Chang from our marketing department ran a photo-shoot to develop images for use across the site.

Thank you for attending our event

Our business and enterprise event on  March 15 was a great success, attracting people throughout the day

The Apprenticeship Grant for Employers

The Apprenticeship Grant for Employers – can you receive funding to take on an Apprentice?

Support for 16 to 24 year olds is aimed at helping eligible employers to offer young people employment through the Apprenticeship programme, by providing wage grants to assist employers in recruiting their first Apprentice.

The National Apprenticeship Service will provide up to 40,000 Apprenticeship grants of £1,500  to small-medium sized employers recruiting 16 to 24 year olds,  to encourage new employers to take on new Apprentices.

This grant is available from 1 February 2012 until March 2013 for eligible employers. Priority will be given to small-medium sized employers with less than 250 employees who recruit a 16 to 24 year old apprentice for the first time.

To find out if your business is eligible for this grant and how Craven College can help you recruit an Apprentice, contact Work Based Learning on 01756 693681 or email apprenticeships@craven-college.ac.uk

Tyro is pleased to be able to provide a range of training solutions for Oakdale Golf Club in Harrogate.

Oakdale is one of the premier golf clubs in the North of England and, as such, visitors and societies are guaranteed to receive a warm welcome both on and off the course.  Providing a premier service means the club is also managing a business, providing a service to its clients and working hard to ensure it meets the necessary levels of staff training in order to do this.

Tyro has recently provided Personal Licence Holder qualifications to meet the club’s requirements as a licensed premises and Defibrillator Training to ensure emergency equipment is safely available if required.

Bespoke Financial Training is Well Received

Hi David

 Thank you for your email.  Yes we all feel more confident in the accuracy and value of the financial information we are collating for the business.  I am sure Rosie and I will have questions once we have made the suggested amendments to the spreadsheets we are using. 

 Meanwhile thank you for your time and the very approachable training session you put together for us. 

 Best regards

Jane

Free Training Supports Local PR Firm

AKA PR is a local business within the Skipton ‘Business Improvement District’ 

AKA PR is a vibrant and creative agency based in Skipton at the High Corn Mill, and a model example of how Skipton benefits when its small businesses thrive.

Skipton Castle & Skipton’s Business Improvement District

Residents accustomed to seeing its beautiful towers at the top of the high street may take this iconic building for granted, but Skipton Castle is one of the most complete and well preserved medieval castles in England. As such it is an important tourist attraction for the town, and an employer of over 50 local people. 

Staff from the Castle have recently been involved in free training commissioned by the Skipton Business Improvement District (BID), and have found it to be hugely beneficial.
