some of our success stories
Following the success of 18 pilot regions across the
country, including London East, "Train to Gain" launched nationally
on the 1st August 2006.
Newham College continues as one of the argest providers of
this initiative across the London Area, focusing on work with
companies and employees to enable those without any level 2
qualifications (or the equivalent) to work towards, or be
recognised for, their first full level 2 NVQ qualification -
without any charge to the employer/employee.
The programme is very learner led, with training and assessment
offered within the workplace offering convenience and obvious
advantages to both the employee and the employer.
For businesses wishing to sign up for Train To Gain an initial
application is made to the Learning & Skill Council. Then, once
a contract has been signed, a referral for training will be made.
At Newham we train people in courses as diverse as IT, Food &
Drink Service, Professional Cookery, Cleaning, Fork Lift Truck
Driving, Customer Service and Basic Skills.
