What others are saying
“Fast paced and supportive – we really do make a difference – I supported a lady through a Teaching Assistant course. She was excited but nervous and needed reassurance – we kept in touch with job searches and one of the best things was getting a photo from her on her first day in her new job at a school – smiling away!”
Sally Bremner
IAG Officer
“I recently completed the Teaching Assistant course and can’t express enough how grateful I am for this experience!“
Salma Dekhissi
Teaching Assistant Candidate
Barnet Southgate College
“Cidori’s culture was a huge factor in my decision to join them – the opportunities for progression and upskilling, plus the fact that the whole company is caring and considerate.”
Danielle Aitkenhead
IAG Officer
“What drew me to Cidori?
The chance to go beyond just placing candidates. At Cidori, it’s about developing people, not just filling vacancies. It’s about building skills, confidence, and long-term career pathways.”
Stewart Jones
Senior Business Development Manager
“I am incredibly impressed by the impact of our Lean Manufacturing Operative (LMO) apprenticeship programme – seen in the exceptional projects presented by our team members. Their commitment to move out of comfort zones and learn key lean principles, not only translates into immediate process improvements and cost savings, but also positions us strongly for sustained continuous improvements in manufacturing.”
Paul Hankin
Head of Manufacturing, Altro
Lean Manufacturing Apprenticeship
“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.”
