The National Skills Academy for Financial Services won two ESF/SFA Skills Support For The Workforce lots in the Coast To Capital LEP area – one aimed at Intermediate & Higher Skills Provision For The Employed, (known as ‘Skills For Growth’) the other for Higher Level Skills Provision For The Unemployed (known as ‘Skills For Jobs’). For Skills For Growth, NSAFS is looking for delivery partners that already have employers that they are engaged with, in priority sectors (see links above) in the C2C LEP area that are able to deliver units of qualifications the employers want at Level 3 and Level 4 but have a value of no more than 14 credits to employees in the target demographics (see links above). In relation to Skills For Jobs, partners are sought that can deliver the same types of restricted qualifications to the same targeted groups of people who have been unemployed for less than 6 months and then progress them into employment. Partners will need to undergo a due diligence process and if interested can contact NSAFS here.
