What others are saying
“Cidori is a place where you can contribute, be heard, and make a difference through hard work. I get great satisfaction from helping people with opportunities, building confidence and self-belief beyond their school years.”
Andrea Duffin
Employment Operations Manager
“This apprenticeship delivered an interactive and professional programme that produced a cohort group of 13 distinctions at Level 2 – a truly magnificent result for every single person involved. By focusing on upskilling our team members around lean manufacturing, we are not only investing in their professional development but also enhancing the efficiencies and effectiveness of our manufacturing processes.”
Jason Cairns
Production Manager, Pirelli
Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeship
“I decided to start the apprenticeship as I wanted to gain a qualification that would directly benefit my current role and my future career. I am always trying to find better ways of working, for myself and the teams that I manage, and this course will help to put some structure around that process, therefore making it more efficient.”
Jenny Conroy
Team Leader
Level 4 Improvement Practitioner Apprenticeship – Altro
“In the delivery of our adult skills budget, Kendal College works in partnership with Cidori. For more than 3 years we have enjoyed a productive collaboration as we help candidates into sustainable employment, providing them with the training, skills, and self-confidence they need. We believe that our teaching and learning delivery, together with Cidori’s employer engagement and support of candidates into work represents a powerful combination that enables us not only to deliver our ASF budget effectively but make a real difference to the lives of our learners – many of whom we would never reach ourselves.”
Richard Evans
Vice Principal
Kendal College
“Helping people who need employment to understand the opportunities available to them and achieve new qualifications is massively satisfying. Innovating and improving the customer service experience for prospective learners, employers, college partners and DWP colleagues is a fantastic platform to maximise networking skills with a regular feeling of achievement in the workplace!”
Paul Woolley
Business Development Manager
“What has been achieved through the Lean Manufacturing apprenticeship reflects not only the drive and skills of our team members, but also the benefits available when we engage in lean and waste elimination projects. I am very excited as we continue to work with the team to foster a culture of waste elimination and efficiency. Thank you to everyone involved.”
