Colchester Institute is the largest vocational college serving North Essex and the surrounding areas. We are committed to providing quality vocational education and practical skills relevant to employers and learners. As a result, working in a collaboration with our local NHS foundation trust, ESNEFT (East Suffolk and North East Essex NHS Foundation Trust), we have created a new training programme where we provide short intervention courses and skills requested by the employer.
Participants are trained and exposed to a real job situation and receives an interview with the recruiting department. Learners benefit from having everything ‘in house’:
- Adult Skills Centres deliver accredited qualifications requested by the employer based on their job descriptions/ roles, e.g. Functional Skills in English and Maths or more sector-based specialised introductory course
- Dedicated project team will carry out informal interview to make sure the right candidates get selected onto Work Programme Stage
- Work programme stage consists of masterclasses and work rotational observational placements
Working in partnership with East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Trust (ESNEFT) and the ICENI Centre.
