COLLEGE HELP FOR STAFF FACING REDUNDANCY

Bury College has been playing a major role in preparing Argos staff for life
after redundancy.

Earlier this year the company announced that it was closing its distribution centre at Manchester 's Trafford Park which employed more than 200 people.

Since then, Argos has worked with the college's Business Solutions (BS) and around 120 staff members took part in some form of training. BS has been the main provider of training courses, offering both short courses and NVQs to Argos staff.

Linda Sheen of Argos said: "The cop-operation between the college and Argos has been great and the operation has been very successful."

The Trafford Park site has now shut.

Argos staff gain qualifications and training
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bury College Business Solutions as a training provider to anyone.
Nursery Manager Kimberley Anne Anstess said, "From the initial phone call to completing the course, I found the tutors and administration staff knowledgeable and supportive. The course was quick, enjoyable and suited to the nursery and staff requirements."
