Stockport Council Celebrates Job Creation Progress

More than 100 new jobs, apprenticeships and work placements have been created across Stockport during the past two years, say Stockport Council by Investing in Stockport work.

From construction and business apprenticeships to hotel jobs and work placements on projects, the range of opportunities on offer has provided young people, students and residents with chances to gain experience, develop skills and get jobs in their chosen career say the Council.

One young person who is already benefitting is Shauna Ball from Binnington. Shauna is currently completing a Business Administration Apprenticeship at Redock Stockport and commented that “the apprenticeship is giving me the opportunity to learn a wide range of skills, which I know will help open up many doors in my future career ambitions.”

Creating a brighter future for local people is at the heart of the work that is changing Stockport. Each development is creating new jobs and opportunities both now and for the future. As restaurants, open; companies move in and better transport links make it easier for people to travel around, the scale of these opportunities will grow significantly.

Councillor Dean Fitzpatrick, Executive Member for Education at Stockport Council said: “I’m delighted so many young people are already benefiting from the work taking place across Stockport. As a Council, we are committed to ensuring local young people and residents get the chance to develop the skills they need to succeed in their careers and the opportunities being created on our investment projects show this in action.

“As the development work continues it’s estimated over 5,000 new jobs will be created across Stockport, creating even more opportunities for our young people.”
