Skills Support for
the Workforce

TCHC are working in partnership with PeoplePlus to deliver Skills Support for the Workforce Programme across the Birmingham and Solihull area. It is a free service, created to help small to medium-sized employers turn their business growth plans into reality by up-skilling their existing workforce. We work with employers to identify their skills gaps and recommend bespoke training plans which will give their workforce the skills they need to grow the business. And the best bit – we even deliver the training for free.
The programme is fully funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) and in partnership with the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). The Skills Support for the Workforce in programme compliments the Greater Birmingham and Solihull LEP’s broader initiative to support growth in small and medium-sized businesses throughout the region.
As an approved training provider, we deliver on this programme and work with employers to identify their skills gaps in the areas of; Warehouse and Storage, Customer Service, Social Media for Business, Management, Leadership, IT User Skills, Health and Social Care, Business Administration and Tenant support for Social Housing.

I had resigned myself that I might have to accept my career would take a step back, given my age and very deflating feelings.

It has enabled me to reboot my career and I have found a new role as Head of Technology Training. This type of programme genuinely change people’s lives.”
