Apprenticeships offer the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, all while studying for a chosen career.
In 2024, Kenny Waste Management is building partnerships to help our team to provide meaningful apprenticeship opportunities in the waste sector.
We were delighted to welcome Simon and Amber from Tameside College to our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), which is also home to our welder team. Together, our aim is to explore the potential for us to take on our very first welding apprentice in 2024.
