THE work of a Blackburn-based training provider has been captured on film by well-known consumer TV show Working Lunch.
Apprentices from Training 2000 claimed their 15 minutes of fame when Working Lunch spent three hours with them, looking at the work of the organ-isation's engineering department.
The crew went on to film in the dedicated schools' workshop, where 12 pupils from Garstang High School were working. As well as speaking to some of the pupils, they also interviewed school co-ordinator Mark Greenhalgh and Training 2000 chief executive Steve Gray.
Steve said: "We are delighted that the Working Lunch team wanted to recognise our work here at Training 2000. They were greatly impressed by the fact that this year our engineering results were more than double the national average at grades A* to C and that our current first year intake of engineering apprentices is made up of more than 50 per cent of learners progressing from pre-16 courses.
"Training 2000 can only operate with the support of local companies and educational partners."
Working Lunch is watched by 750,000 people a day and can now be viewed online. The edition of the show has already aired.
