Partner Programmes
We work closely with a range of government agencies, local enterprise partnerships, local authorities and councils, as well as private sector employers. We offer funded programmes that support people to improve their personal, employability and vocational skills, gain recognised qualifications and develop themselves to move into, and progress within, sustained employment.
Some of our partners include European Social Fund, the Mayor of London, Department for Work & Pensions, Coast to Capital and Southwark Council.
Many of our programmes are focused on supporting people who are disadvantaged many with primary barriers to gaining and sustaining work including low levels of English, Maths or digital skills, learning or physical disabilities, through to low confidence and motivation, in order to realise their true potential.
