NEW PARTNERSHIP LAUNCHED TO HELP EMPLOYERS AND YOUNG PEOPLE
Manpower, the UK’s leading recruitment and HR services company,
and Training Services, a division of Bath & North East Somerset
council, have formed a unique partnership, aiming to benefit both
employers and young people. 16-24 year olds currently looking for
full time employment can now register with Manpower for work whilst
also joining a Modern Apprenticeship through Training Services, enabling
them to earn a salary and simultaneously gain a nationally recognised
qualification.
Manpower will help young people find work whilst Training Services
will provide the support, individual training programme and assessment
for the qualification in consultation with the employer.
Hannah Hesketh, Business Manager of Manpower Bath said: “Manpower
are delighted to be working in partnership with Training Services.
By giving young people in the South West this opportunity we’re
confirming our commitment to improving the skills of our staff and
enhancing their career opportunities with local employers. Employers
on the scheme will benefit from getting a staff member who will
complete a relevant NVQ course aimed at supporting their job role.
The training is totally free to the employer.”
Training Services was established in 1984 and is one of the longest
serving Training Providers in Bath. Consequently their staff has
a wide variety of expertise and experience in the areas of Business
Administration, Customer Service, Information Technology, Retail
plus many other vocational areas. They are able to offer other training
programmes such as Preparation for Work, Life Skills, Learndirect
and bespoke company training.
Louise Williams, Training Consultant from Training Services, said:
“This is a fantastic opportunity for local young people who
do not wish to go onto further education, but to gain employment
and a qualification. This partnership will also benefit employers
as it helps with recruitment, improves staff retention and develops
a skilled workforce.”
Two recent success stories for Bath Training Services are Sam Lymposs
and Jarna Haque. Sam has made fantastic progress since starting his
Modern Apprenticeship with British Airways Citiexpress and Jarna has
combined studying for an NVQ in Business Administration whilst working
as an office junior for Bath based civil engineering firm Lawrence.
