Skills Training UK creates bespoke Apprenticeship and Traineeship programmes for employers, with a particular focus on individual and business improvement and has direct contracts with the Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). Skills Training UK also offers BTEC Technical Certificates for 16-19 year old learners looking to progress into Apprenticeships, Employment, or Further Education. The number of employers we work with continues to grow across a range of industrial sectors and we deliver Apprenticeships in all regions of England, and have study centres covering London, the South East, and Midlands. We were awarded a Good grade by OFSTED at our last two inspections and remain committed to the delivery of high quality, high performing provision.
Direct delivery under our own contracts represents the majority of what we do, however we also work as a prime contractor who sub-contracts to specialist partners and increasingly we are also a key partner to FE colleges and other direct contract holders for Apprenticeships, Traineeships and provision for unemployed young people and adults. In recognition of this, Skills Training UK has twice received the highest grade of Excellent for the Merlin Standard which measures supply chain excellence. We work across a range of Local Enterprise Partnership regions and work closely with Local/Combined Authorities to deliver skills and employability programmes which meet their local area needs.
We are keen to develop genuine partnerships with both employers and other education and training organisations; if you are interested in exploring how your organisation might work with Skills Training UK then please contact, Steven Mitchell, Director of Research Innovation and Development on the details below.
