Apprenticeships research launch event

7th November 2011

On Friday 4th November CLES officially launched new research undertaken with Manchester City Council into the Manchester People into Construction (MPiC) scheme. The research sought to understand the benefits of the scheme and what would happen if Manchester City Council did not invest in procurement frameworks and associated apprenticeship schemes.

The event was highly attended by a range of people from Construction organisations, council staff, local authorities from around the North West and suppliers to the Council.

Full details of the research can be found in the press release here.

The Briefing summarising the research can be found here.
