The work of the Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership will ensure that the current and future workforce have the skills necessary to drive the county’s economy; skills which are crucial to sustained growth and adaptability.
Northamptonshire is already home to internationally renowned higher and further education providers including:
- The Waste Management Centre at the University of Northampton
- The Sports Therapy Centre at Moulton College
- The National College of Motorsport at Tresham Institute
The Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership works closely with the above institutions, as well as other county education providers, and the emerging University Technical Colleges to support the development of key sectors and encourage business involvement in influencing future vocational education and skills in the county.
A targeted campaign, working alongside the National Apprenticeship Service, to raise the profile of apprenticeships amongst young people forms Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership’s response to the national shift towards encouraging a greater number of apprenticeships.
Work experience is another key priority, helping to match the supply of labour to the availability of employment and reduce overall unemployment.
Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership work to add value to the Work Programme by matching new county investment with initiatives that will provide pre-employment training for the unemployed. Alongside community and voluntary organisations, the partnership will help support the hardest to reach and support them back into employment.
Work with Young Enterprise and the education and work services providers within the county continues in order to promote enterprise and entrepreneurship and to improve the employability of the county’s young people; a key priority for the Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership.
