The views of industry and business leaders are wanted as part of
a major focus on skills training in Tees Valley.
Tees Valley Combined Authority is responsible for adult skills
across the region by providing support to help people secure
employment and develop their careers.
A wide range of funded support is currently available through the
TVCA-administered Adult Skills Fund delivered by local councils,
colleges, and independent training providers.
The views of companies are now being sought to ensure skills
needs are being met to support future growth and local residents
are being equipped with the most appropriate training to move
into jobs.
Funding will also support the training of the existing local
workforce to drive career progression and the creation of new
jobs.
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: “It's essential that our
fantastic local businesses have access to the best quality
training to develop skills in their organisation and drive the
growth of our local economy.
“The training must also meet the needs of our local workforce as
we continue to develop Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool as a
centre for industries ranging from clean energy to digital.
“But we can only achieve this with the support of local industry
and training providers, and it's therefore vital that we hear
from them about how the future of adult skills training should be
developed.”
“This next year will further shape and transform the future
skills programmes across the Tees Valley but we can't do this
without further input from local businesses.”
