BACKGROUND & CONTEXT
Here at UTRAINING we recognise that Employers are often provided with new starters who just don’t have the employability skills which they crave for in your workforce. Therefore, at UTRAINING we place as much emphasis on employability skills as we do on sector skills to ensure your new starters organisational needs!
UTRAINING also recognise that pre-employability training needs to be stimulating, exciting, informal & interactive, which not only enthuses potential employees to learn, but ensures they can apply this learning within the workplace.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
UTRAINING’s employability team consists of qualified, informal educators who have taken both these needs into account and devised a unique approach to pre-employability training which makes us different from other providers.
Our team has significant experience and expertise of working with diverse groups and recognise that diverse groups have diverse needs. The UTRAINING team places these needs at the heart of their work and understand that a key element to devising training for such groups has been to adopt co-production and youth participation strategies.
The UTRAINING employability team have utilised this knowledge to devise a model to co-creating employability training which incorporates co-production and youth participation models. We call this model our ‘Employee Friendly’ model which ensures employers and potential employees’ ideas, needs and interests are all considered within all of UTRAINING’s employability training.
TYPICAL AREAS OF SUPPORT
Our UTRAINING team have identified the typical employability skills most sought by employers and adopted our ‘Employee Friendly’ model and worked with unemployed people to create training modules which meet their diverse learning needs. Our catalogue of training enables employers to select a bespoke employability programme to meet their organisational needs, whilst our ‘Employee Friendly’ approach ensures that future employees engage and retain the learning from bespoke programmes.
The UTRAINING team will also ensure that bespoke programme are matched against formal qualifications, ensuring new employees are not only learning through a means that meets their needs, but also meet employer requirements whilst gaining recognised sector and employability skills qualifications.
