Apprentice Training


Meet Colin, an aspiring apprentice, at the start of his working life. As this promotional film for the Churchill Machine Tool Company Ltd. of Altrincham demonstrates, practical work combined with theory will transform a school leaver into a fully trained member of the workforce. And who knows what is in store for our apprentice? Promotion perhaps, maybe one day to the post of managing director.
