Sector Work Academy Programmes - also known as SWAPs - are designed to help employers fill vacancies with a skilled workforce. These are short 2-3-week intensive programmes for adults aged 19+ who are looking to upskill for work in specific jobs and industries. We work with some fantastic employers such as KCOM, RESQ, Precision, Hull Truck and the Deep to support their recruitment. These programmes are FREE to the employer and participants.
The programmes are designed with the employer to ensure that all participants have the skills needed to gain one of their jobs meaning that we can guarantee an interview to each person who completes the course. These courses are an ideal way for anyone who has been out of work for a while; or wants to change sector to develop the vital skills for that industry and employer and know they are guaranteed an interview for a job.
