Notice Title
Specialist Upskilling Courses
Notice Description
The Combined Authority is seeking to contract with multiple providers to deliver courses to upskill individuals, with delivery up to 30/09/24. Progression tracking will end 31/03/25. The aim is to support individuals into new roles, new or enhanced self-employment opportunities, or take on additional responsibilities in their existing role, and providers will be paid based on evidence of participant starts, completions and progressions. The activity must add value to national & local policy and not duplicate or undermine delivery already being undertaken by other funded provision. Courses should be complementary to existing provision, including digital offers under AEB funding. As this training is to be delivered at Level 3 & above, AEB provision may act as a stepping stone onto a Skills Connect course, with the aim of an individual progressing into employment. Learning needs to be delivered at a level and length where individuals can progress based on the course content.
Lot Information
Enhancing Workplace Diversity and Recruitment Practices for Employers
As West Yorkshire becomes increasingly diverse, as do workplaces. In line with that, recent economic circumstances coupled with changes in lifestyle mean that a rising number of individuals are looking to enter or re-enter the workforce, but lack the confidence, labour market knowledge and soft skills to do so. We believe that the above outlined courses would guide employers in supporting and retaining their staff. This is to provide a minimum of 105 individuals to be trained in Enhancing Workplace Diversity and Recruitment Practices.
Supporting Individuals from Underrepresented Groups into EmploymentRecent economic circumstances coupled with changes in lifestyle mean that a rising number of individuals are looking to enter or re-enter the workforce, but lack the confidence, labour market knowledge and soft skills to do so. We believe that the above outlined courses would support disadvantaged individuals to access meaningful employment. This is to provide training for a minimum of 145 individuals to support them into employment.
Supporting Organisations to Secure Funding and Build CapacityVarious sectors and organisations now rely on securing funding through a range of means in order to grow their enterprises and ensure they are sustainable. Modules could include how to identify and diversify funding streams, fundraising techniques, bid writing, presenting proposals, using data and technology to make clear business cases, and capacity building. This is to provide a minimum of 200 individuals, with training and support in how to secure funding and build capacity through various means.
Getting Into the Professional Services SectorWithin West Yorkshire, a wide range of school and college leavers and University graduates complete their qualifications without having clear career progression plans. It is our ambition that the above outlined courses would support these individuals to access robust careers in various professional service roles through the provision of labour market information, insights from employers, and guidance on applying transferable skills and knowledge to particular roles in the sector. This is to provide a minimum of 250 individuals with careers advice and support in accessing roles in the Professional Services Sector.
Accessing Public Sector roles - including in Local Councils, Emergency Services & Mayoral CAsCourses that would address this challenge would support individuals in understanding the varied and interesting nature of public sector work and the many advantages of working in this area, along with practical information on completing application processes. To ensure that the employer application element of the course is relevant and fit for purpose, it will be expected that Public Sector employers would co-design the course. This is to provide a minimum of 150 individuals with careers advice and support in accessing Level 3+ roles in the Public Sector.
Civil Service OpportunitiesThis is to provide a minimum of 100 individuals with careers advice, support, essential digital skills and application process guidance into the Civil Service. The demographics for this lot will be split as below: * 50 individuals over 50 * 50 individuals who identify as having a disability, are from an ethnic minority, or are female
Beyond Brontes: The Mayors Screen Diversity ProgrammeThe provider is required to design and deliver a blended, bespoke and impactful TV and film production training programme to be delivered over 12 months, designed to meet the needs of the above target cohort from across West Yorkshire. For all purposes, the programme is to be known as "Beyond Brontes: The Mayor's Screen Diversity Programme". Nurturing and retaining skills and talent within the region should be at the forefront of the programme, with a focus on diversity to ensure diverse talent. The budget available is PS112,000. In addition to the funds available through this procurement exercise, a further grant of up to PS75,000.00 may be made available to the appointed provider to subsidise participant wages in order to support the securing of employment as a result of skills they have acquired through the course. The course will be made up of a minimum of 80 selected people from diverse backgrounds, with the provider able to deliver cohorts of appropriate sizes through the duration of the contract.
