Training for Success
Training for Success is a Department for Employment and Learning funded training programme. It is designed for young people aged 16-18 years (*up to 24 years for those of you requiring additional support). It focuses on the extra learning you may need and will help you develop Life and Work Skills. Its aim is to ensure that you obtain training and development in areas such as:
- Confidence Building
- Interview Skills
- Motivation Skills
- Life and Work Skills
to equip you with the tools and the confidence to help you find work. Once you gain recognised basic skills and qualifications, you are ready to move into the next level of training, perhaps into an Apprenticeship.
Training for Success is currently delivered across two programmes:
| Skills for your Life | - | addressing personal and development needs. |
|---|---|---|
| Skills for Work | - | helping you gain skills and an NVQ Level 1 qualification to assist you in gaining employment/progressing onto an apprenticeship programme if you so wish. |
Springvale Learning have been contracted to deliver Training for Success. We work with employers who provide you with work experience or job sampling in your chosen training subject. Job experience and job sampling is based on your needs and gives you the chance to experience different workplaces and decide what sort of work suits you best. We will help you develop a personal development plan.
We also work with specialist organisations to provide additional support for individuals who require it, for example people with disabilities, so that they can benefit fully from training.
The Training for Success provision will focus on the extra learning you needed to help you develop Life and Work Skills. You will receive your skills training and your NVQ Level 1 qualification. You will then be ready to move into the next level of training, into employment or perhaps into an apprenticeship provision.
Once you go into training through one of the components of Training for Success you automatically qualify for a non means tested Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) of £40 per week. If your parent(s)/guardian(s) receive Income Support, means tested Job Seeker’s Allowance or Housing Benefit, that benefit will not be affected by the EMA. If you are entitled to one of these benefits in your own right that benefit will not be affected either. Your parent(s)/guardian(s) will also be entitled to receive Child Benefit & Child Tax Credit provided all other conditions for receipt of the benefits are met. Travel, lodging and childcare allowances may be paid depending on individual circumstances. You can discuss this with us.
Your training will help you:
- gain relevant qualifications to help you on the road to employment
- progress in the workplace
- get ahead in your chosen career
