Through our hard work, Vocation Training has been a prime contractor for notable initiatives, including the Black Country Impact- across all four boroughs and districts- and West Midlands Combined Authority contracts. In addition, we have successfully secured contracts from the Education and Skills Funding Agency, and have worked with independent partners including Talent Match, Maximus, Serco, DWP and the West Midlands Probation Services, aiding learners furthest from the labour market, breaking down real and perceived barriers, and enabling us to positively impact the lives of more than 1300 individuals over the past five years.
