Press Release
Leading employment and training provider
Seetec, will be helping people who are at risk of redundancy, have
been made newly redundant and the unemployed across the East
of England boost their skills and experience and move back into
employment after being awarded a new contract from the Learning and
Skills Council in conjunction with The European Social Fund.
‘Response to Redundancy’ is designed to
provide a promptly delivered package of vocational skills training
and support for people who have been – or are likely to be -
affected by redundancies and for employers who are considering or
in the process of making staff redundant.
Building new vocational skills in line with
those which employers say they need to remain productive, will
increase participant’s prospects of being able to offer alternative
employers a different set of skills while the programme will also
provide training in the job search and application process,
including the practical elements of CV writing and interview
techniques.
For those under notice of redundancy, the
programme offers the opportunity to re-skill in areas of employer
demand and for some this may mean they are able to escape
redundancy by being able to provide new and relevant skills to
their employer.
Seetec’s extensive experience and successful
delivery of other mainstream and European Social funded
employability and skills training programmes will stand them in
good stead when delivering this much needed and called for
programme which started in April 2009 and runs until the end of
2010.
Graham Martin, Seetec’s Operations Director
for Learning and Skills welcomes the new contract and said “The
award of this contract will enable Seetec to offer a seamless route
for customers in the East of England to gain employment and access
lifelong learning opportunities through work based learning
initiatives such as Train to Gain and Apprenticeships”.
