Our acclaimed apprenticeship programme helped our Group to be named Employer of the Year at the Newcastle Stafford Colleges Group (NSCG) Celebration Awards. 

The awards showcased all that is best in learning, training and apprenticeships and were presented by NSCG Principal Karen Dobson OBE.

Prizes were presented for outstanding achievement by learners on full-time, apprenticeship and higher education programmes. The event culminated with the final award, for the Employer of the Year. It was presented to Housing Plus Group in recognition of what was described as ‘incredible’ support for apprenticeships. 

Announcing the win, Karen Dobson praised “An excellent, supportive employer who put apprenticeships at the forefront of their training provision.” 

Housing Plus Group Director of People and Marketing, Tony Bishop said: “We are committed to creating valuable apprenticeship opportunities, leading to great careers in our Group. 

“It is wonderful to see this kind of recognition for our highly successful apprenticeship programme, the talented colleagues who undertake this training and everyone who supports their achievement.”
