Skills for Work supports individuals looking to improve or gain skills to succeed in the workplace. It also helps employers who have specific training requirements and to up-skill current staff.  

They support individuals through a comprehensive range of adult skills courses including functional maths and English, and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). Their family learning courses such as employability, family first aid and child development offers learners the opportunity to gain valuable life skills.

Skills for Work support for businesses includes courses to up-skill new and established staff, as well as delivering Apprenticeship courses. All support is tailored to meet specific business needs. 

The team is regularly monitored by external agencies such as Ofsted, having most recently been awarded Good, and staff members are Matrix-accredited in their information, advice and guidance support.
