Our team have built up twenty years’ experience as training providers. Firstly,
under the umbrella of Henry Boot Training, they were taken over by Pearson’s in
Practice then latterly Learning World. Throughout this time we have continued to
support our learners and this is why we are able to carry forward with the
continued provision we have delivered over the last two decades. As a training
provider we have continued to provide our service within Glasgow, Lanarkshire,
Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire working with Young People and Adults, Inspiring
them to know that no career is off limits because of their gender, race or
background. we aim to help disadvantaged people to gain practical training to
assist with their employment prospects supporting a more equal and diverse work
force and bring greater collaboration with an inclusive work place. We do this
by providing personal development, practical and Health & Safety training in the
following areas: Joinery Paint & Decorating Brickwork Pathways Drainage Manual
Handling Cable Avoidance Hard/Soft Landscaping Aluminium Towers Dry stone
walling Completing CSCS certification Risk and COSHH assessment Power Tools As
important, we provide support and encouragement for our learners. Many of our
learners have not worked since leaving school or are non-attenders currently of
school age. Self-esteem is often very low. By providing taster sessions within
different areas of the building trade. This allows the learner to gain knowledge
and the choice to concentrate within a particular field; they may ordinarily
have not had the opportunity. We home in on their strengths and build on them.
This leads in many cases gaining an apprenticeship, securing a college course or
employment. Since our team were made redundant from Learning World in November
2012, we have made it our sole aim to keep the continuity we have successfully
maintained over the years as training providers. We secured funding, from the
Big Lottery, Young Start and Investing in Ideas. This has allowed us to buy
equipment and resources to provide correct and current training for the learners
within our centre. We managed to secure the premises with our Landlord before
Leaning World closed their doors at the end of October 2012. This has provided
us the start we need to carry forward our work within the East End of Glasgow
and continue to build our relationships with other agencies, for example;
Education Services; Activity Agreements Officers and Integrated Children’s
Services, East End Regeneration, and more recently Forestry Commission Community
Woodland Trust, to help provide a tangible Green Legacy, as well as the Youth
Circus, as part of the Commonwealth Games. Our aim as a training provider is
primarily based on passion not profit. Seeking to deliver a stepping stone for
our learners who live within areas of high unemployment, deprivation, addiction
and social exclusion. As well as, working with young people who have been
excluded from school, and are being cared for away from the family home. Often
this means we have to address the local gang culture, within Glasgow, South
Lanarkshire and surrounding areas, as we bring together the Young People into
training centre. George Bruce TRAINING MANAGER
