Sector Focus: Skills & Training
Delivering skills to adult learners
Independent Training Services, part of Barnsley College, has teamed-up with Manchester-based The Growth Company to expand the reach of its popular new pre- employment training courses. The Growth Company is the
primary contract holder of the European Social Fund’s ‘Skills Support for Employment’ funding for both Manchester and Sheffield City Regions. It subcontracts Independent Training Services to deliver Sector-based Work Academy Programmes (SWAPs) in partnership with Jobcentre Plus and local employers in Barnsley, the Dearne Valley, Chesterfield, Bassetlaw, Doncaster and Sheffield. Amy Lees, SSE Operations Manager for Sheffield City Region at The Growth Company, said: “We are proud to work alongside ITS on our Skills Support for Employment contract across the Sheffield City Region. They have a strong Sector Based Work Academy delivery model that gives some real hands- on experience and has delivered some fantastic results since they joined our supply chain in 2019. They also have incredible employer links within each local authority, giving our learners the best chance at finding work.”

Team to help schools through out the pandemic. Unique are keen to introduce their distinctive approach
to education recruitment, which is structured to benefit schools and trusts. Their 12-week model allows schools to assess new members of staff and ensure the right decision is made every time. Rebecca Dodd, Director at
Unique School Solutions, said: “No
two schools are the same, their needs, requirements and budget can be vastly different. One member of staff may be the perfect fit for a school in
Rotherham but this may not be the case for another in Barnsley. It’s our job to recognise this and adapt our services to each schools individual needs.” For Unique School Solutions the ultimate goal is to
connect high quality teachers, teaching assistants, support staff and other educational professionals with schools that match their culture and personality.
