Sector-based work academies are designed to help meet your immediate and future recruitment needs as well as to recruit a workforce with the right skills to sustain and grow your business. If you have vacancies coming up, consider using one of these.
A sector-based academy can last up to 6 weeks. Placements have 3 main components:
- pre-employment training – relevant to the needs of your business sector
- work experience placement – of great benefit to the individual and a business
- a guaranteed job interview
In England, sector-based work academy training is fully funded through the Skills Funding Agency and delivered by further education colleges and training providers. The training will enable participants to undertake units on the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).
