How it works
The academy can last up to 6 weeks and at the end, you'll have skilled workers ready to contribute to your business.
The programme has 3 main components:
Pre-employment training
Training is matched to the needs of your business sector (can be one employer or a few with similar needs). If you need help with this, email ncs@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk and we'll work with you to design the content of sector-specific training that meets the needs of your business and those of the labour market.
Work experience placement
This is an opportunity for you to identify talent and for your potential employee to cement their knowledge and understanding of the required role.
Recruitment
This ensures a guaranteed job interview or help building your recruitment process.
