Rochdale Training describes itself as the “Home of Apprenticeships for Greater Manchester,” providing apprenticeship and workforce training in partnership with employers across the North West of England. Established in 1966, the organisation states that it has regularly reshaped its curriculum to meet the needs of local employers and the wider community. Prospective learners can access Pre‑Apprenticeship and Apprenticeship programmes, as well as workforce development training, delivered by industry‑experienced tutors. Rochdale Training offers both full‑ and part‑time education and training across a broad range of subjects and course levels for young people and adults. The organisation highlights that hundreds of students study with them each year to start or enhance their career pathways or to broaden their skills and knowledge for professional development. In addition to apprenticeships, the website promotes health and safety training, free short courses, functional skills, health and safety consultancy, and an Engineering HNC, alongside employer-focused services such as workforce development, employer membership and room hire.
