Sector-based work academies are designed to help meet employers’ immediate and future recruitment needs as well as to recruit a workforce with the right skills to sustain and grow their business.

A sector-based work academy is designed with the employer, can last for up to 6 weeks and has 3 main components:

• pre-employment training – relevant to the needs of the business and sector
• a work experience placement – of great benefit to both the individual and a business
• a guaranteed job interview
