Training Provider Expands


Thursday 15th November 2012



A leading national training provider is expanding its services across Derbyshire following a major contract win, which is one of the first of its kind in the country.

, which has more than 20 learning centres across the country including in Alfreton, Chesterfield, Ripley and Derby, has been awarded a Government contract to deliver the Derbyshire Mandatory Youth Activity Programme (DMYAP).

The programme will see TBG Learning working with young people between the ages of 18 and 24 who have been unemployed for more than 26 weeks and have not yet been referred to the Government's Work Programme.

The programme is the first of its kind across the country and will see customers go through an eight week scheme involving four days each week on a work placement and six hours a week job searching.

Around 2,000 people from across Derbyshire are expected to be referred to the scheme over the next 18 months.

Andrew Conlan-Trant, Head of TBG Learning, said: We're delighted to be furthering our careers guidance and support to young people from across the county through the Derbyshire Mandatory Youth Activity Programme.

"The programme will be led by our teams in Alfreton, Chesterfield, Derby and Ripley, along with our partners across Derbyshire, and will provide excellent support and work placements for young people who are unemployed to help get them into work.

"We already operate a range of services to help people across Derbyshire develop and hone their skills, boost confidence and get back into work and we're really excited to be adding this new programme to our service offering."

From the end of November, jobseekers eligible to enrol on the DMYAP will be referred to TBG Learning by Jobcentre Plus (Derbyshire).

Sue Fielding, Senior District Employer and Partnership Manager for Jobcentre Plus, said: "Jobcentre Plus (Derbyshire) is excited about the launch of this programme.

"This is the first mandatory programme to be developed by a Jobcentre Plus district. It has been designed to give young people work based experience and instil basic work habits, such as turning up to work on time and every day, working in teams and many other elements of full-time activity, while at the same time making a positive impact in their community.

"By gaining these fundamental work disciplines, young people referred to DMYAP will be more likely to move into employment."
