Trainees look for take-off with Liverpool John Lennon Airport scheme

---

---

A second traineeship programme at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) by training group Sysco provided eight South Liverpool youngsters with the opportunity to work in the aviation sector.

---

The programme, run in conjunction with South Liverpool Housing, follows an inaugural scheme which provided full-time work or training for 10 teenagers.

---

Montel White achieved full time employment as a security officer with Securitas and the nine other trainees from this programme are also now all in full time employment or training.

---

Three of the eight trainees in the latest scheme are currently being considered for apprenticeships, while one, Jay Verburg, has been given a role in the control tower after expressing an interest and impressing LJLA chief executive Andrew Cornish.

---

A comprehensive after-care service is provided to the remaining trainees to help them into apprenticeships or full time employment and We have scheduled a new programme for the start of the New Year. We are looking forward to helping more South Liverpool-based teenagers by providing them with the opportunity to gain an apprenticeship with the airport or with one of our bank of employers.
