The Skills Pathway Programme was a highly successful modular training programme delivered with funding from the Mayoral Priority Skills Fund.
The fully funded programme offered individuals a flexible way to develop the skills needed to drive their career and business forward. Learners focused on the challenges and opportunities from within the workplace, enabling participants to develop new skills whilst adding value to their organisation and boosting economic growth in the region.
The programme was made up of four different pathways, designed to help individuals take advantage of workplace opportunities, utilise new technologies and tackle real-life work-based challenges.
Below we share two case studies of businesses that have taken advantage of the programme:
