Random Upskill Podcasts

A podcast with an identity crisis. Previously, this was a show about career changes and the future of work. But then Coronavirus came along and everything got weird. Now, this is a show to help people navigate layoffs and adapt to new work environments. Listen for advice on navigating layoffs and learning new skills. Put this pod in your ears and we’ll navigate this weirdness together. Hosted by Nicolle Merrill, the author of Punch Doubt in the Face: How to Upskill, Change Careers, and Beat the Robots. Come hang out on Instagram for the fun stuff: @50conversations

Is there such a thing a ‘free’ training?

You’d think the North East would be biting our hands off, er no the Geordies are a little sceptical, we can’t possibly be offering them free training (or fully funded as we have to call it)?! Yes we are, it’s been paid for by a European Social Fund.

Join the partners in the North East Workforce Skills Programme who have an ESF project, worth nearly £15 million, to deliver training to upskill and support 17560 employed participants in Tyne and Wear and Northumberland by September 2023.

There challenge to convince businesses that this training offer is legit!

Our partners include:

– University of Sunderland
– Access Training
– Code
– MTC
– Newcastle College
– Seta
– TDR Training and Apprenticeships

This partnership is possibly a little unusual – seven training providers working collaboratively to deliver an ESF project. And we mean collaboratively, we all actually get on and genuinely want to provide the best training for each business and yes that can mean giving a lead to another partner.

Join Shona McCreedy, North East Workforce Skills Programme Project Lead and her various guests to find out what courses are available, who the training providers are and lots more but most importantly having a laugh along the way.
