Skills
We started delivering skills programmes in 2012 with the establishment of our apprenticeship delivery across North East England.
The skills team deliver classroom based and online training for those unemployed individuals who are keen to improve their skills. For some contracts, our skills delivery is about helping individuals gain the skills to move into employment, but for others it could simply be about helping people learn new skills or move into education.
Adult Skills Fund
The Adult Skills Fund (ASF) is a skills programme commissioned by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and a number of devolved Combined Authorities, including the Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority (HEYCA) and the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).
ASF aims to engage adults and provide the skills and learning they need to progress into employment, an apprenticeship, or further learning. It enables flexible and tailored programmes of learning to be delivered, helping eligible learners build confidence, improve their wellbeing, develop skills for work, and achieve their career goals.
Our ASF provision supports learners to develop the skills employers need across a range of sectors, including warehousing and manufacturing, health and social care, and customer service. We also offer Functional Skills qualifications in English and Mathematics to support learners in improving their essential skills and employment prospects.
As part of each programme, we provide professional careers information, advice and guidance, employability support, and mentoring. We also offer in-work support to help individuals sustain employment and continue their development after securing a role.
Triage delivers ASF programmes in partnership with the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority (HEYCA) and South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).
