These are intensive training courses, lasting 6-8 weeks, designed to build up essential sector-specific skills and knowledge based on local employer demand. They are developed and designed with employers to help fill specific recruitment shortages - there are guaranteed job interviews for those who are unemployed.

Employers can work with us to commission something to upskill their staff or to help fill new vacancies. Where the programmes are for unemployed people, there is no charge and for employed staff the funding covers 70% of the cost.
