Recent Investment in Etc. Facilities

Bede Sixth Form College

Mark White Annexe

The Mark White Annexe is a great addition to the facilities at Bede Sixth Form College.

Officially launched in 2023 to meet an expected demographic increase in 16 to 19-year-olds, it now provides a great study environment for those studying at the college in Billingham.

Funded, in part, by the Department for Education’s Post-16 Capacity Fund, it comprises nine new classrooms, specialist suites and breakout spaces, making room for an additional 200 students.

The £2.4m development opened in September 2023 and is named after the former chair of the Etc. governing board, Mark White CBE DL, recognising his services to further education in the Tees Valley and to the college group.

Mark’s governance journey started at Bede Sixth Form, and he would go on to spend 27 years in various governing roles across the group, finally stepping away in summer 2022.

On having the new annexe at Bede named after him, he said: “This feels like an extraordinary honour; it means the world to me.”

Speaking at the launch Bede’s principal Patrick Jordan said: “This welcome investment in our facilities enables us to accommodate more students and also offered the exciting opportunity to create new and innovative learning environments, designed to meet keysector skills demands.”

Bede Sixth Form College offers a contemporary and welcoming study environment for those on our classroom-based professional service courses at Bede.

Redcar and Cleveland College

Clean Energy Education Hub (CEEH)

In May 2023, Redcar and Cleveland College officially opened the doors to its Clean Energy Education Hub.

Made possible by the Redcar Town Deal investment plan, the £3.2m training centre gives people the skills to meet the demands of Teesside’s growing renewable and low carbon sector.

The college worked in collaboration with Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and industry giants, including bp and Northern Gas Networks, who stepped up to help shape plans. The £2.4m capital injection was a flagship project of the Town Deal Fund.

The Clean Energy Education Hub specialises in clean and renewable industry training

for school leavers, apprentices, and adult learners, including commercial courses, bespoke employer led programmes and higher education.

It incorporates an all-new carbon capture rig, designed, and built to help train and inspire the next generation of Net Zero engineers.

Kitted out with specialist high tech equipment, it aims to support training in EV charging, solar PV installation, air source heat pump installation and maintenance, industrial mechanical, and electrical training.

The college is also the Tees Valley’s official Retrofit Academy CIC training partner, the centre has been developed to offer retrofit courses, helping to meet the government’s 2050 Net Zero targets.

Stockton Riverside College

Thanks to a £2.5 million refurbishment, Stockton Riverside College training facilities are better than ever before!

The state-of-the-art facilities offer a modern and comfortable environment for apprentices to learn in. Not only will this support skills development with the latest tools and equipment, apprentices will also benefit from an immersive learning experience that is tailored to their individual needs.

Early Years

The early years and education department has a dedicated practice suite with facilities that match the standards of a real-life work environment to support development.

Not only is it equipped with specialised early years resources and equipment to support learning, but it also includes an assisting teaching area which mirrors a real-life classroom.

Health and Social Care Wing

The health and social care wing is designed to provide knowledge and skills in all areas of the subject. Equipped with a hospital ward, an elderly care zone, and an ambulance bay, apprentices will be able to demonstrate their passion for health and social care and work towards a long and successful career in the industry.

NETA Training

All Access Academy in Redcar Redcar and Cleveland College and NETA Training are stepping up their drive to deliver a pipeline of skilled workers for current and future industries, with a £4.7m All Access Academy led by NETA.

Part of a round of capital injections from the government’s Levelling Up partnership fund, following a successful bid by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, the new development will tackle skills gaps by bringing greater opportunities to train in the likes of scaffolding, rope access, rigging and lifting and welding, to Redcar and Cleveland.

“This facility will deliver the training of skills that are in huge demand, not just here in the Tees Valley but across the UK,” said the Etc.’s deputy chief executive officer Jason Faulkner.

“Building on the specialist clean and low carbon energy training available through the college’s Clean Energy Education Hub, these are skills that will further support the major projects the likes of SeAH Wind, bp, and many others are bringing to the area and, in doing so, support economic growth.”

Already with a commercial base at Redcar and Cleveland College, NETA Training has a heritage of 50 years meeting the training needs of the region. Both are part of the Education Training Collective (Etc.).

NETA director, Sean Johnston, said: “The All Access Academy in Redcar will now build on our commitment to meet the skill demands that will drive our economy, developing a local workforce that has the knowledge, capabilities and skills to benefit from the opportunities that are coming.”

Situated on the college’s Corporation Road site in Redcar, the 750 square metre training facility will offer specialist commercial training. Flagships of the academy will include three purpose-built scaffolding training areas and an additional industrial welding training facility.

Sean said: “The scaffolding industry has been facing skills gaps, locally and nationally, for some time due to issues such as an ageing workforce and a shortage of training. Due to the nature of the trade, scaffolding training needs expertise, industry backing and, of course, lots of space. This new facility will enable us to expand our capacity and help plug both the sector’s training and skills gaps.”

Excited to be bringing yet further industrial training to the borough, Etc.’s deputy chief executive officer Jason said: “This is great news for the borough, for all those who will go on to access training in what are areas of huge and growing demand, and for employers investing in the area.”

NETA Training in Thornaby

NETA Training has shared plans for the development of its £14m purpose-built centre in Thornaby.

A flagship project of the Thornaby Town Deal, the new campus will further enhance the delivery of quality engineering and construction training, within the borough.

“After many months in the pipeline we are excited to be bringing the brand-new NETA Training site to Thornaby,” said the Education Training Collective’s chief operating officer Phil Hastie.

“NETA has a long history of meeting the skills needs of employers in our region and beyond, this development will now bring together NETA’s industrial heritage with fantastic new facilities.”

Made possible with £4.5m from the Government’s Town Deal fund, and delivered in partnership with Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council and with the support of the Thornaby Town Deal Board, the new building will be situated on the Stockton Riverside College site.

Further funding has been secured from the Department for Education and investment from the Education Training Collective (Etc.).

Maintaining its strong identity and brand, NETA Training will have its own access point off Princeton Drive and continue to deliver

its full range of training services, including commercial courses, testing and certification, apprenticeship training and full-time engineering programmes for school-leavers.

The new facility will comprise bespoke industry workshops for the delivery of engineering skills, including welding, electrical, mechanical, pipefitting and rigging and lifting.

Investment will see some of the latest high spec industry-standard equipment sitting alongside traditional heavy-duty machinery, maintaining NETA’s unique character and appeal.

Development of the new building in Thornaby will run alongside the creation of the NETA-led All Access Academy at Redcar and Cleveland College, delivering training in the likes of scaffolding, rope access and rigging and lifting.

NETA director Sean Johnston said: “These are exciting times for NETA, our staff, learners, delegates and all the employers that we work with. We can’t wait to see both our new centre in Thornaby and the All Access Academy in Redcar up and running.

“Engineering and construction skills have a massive part to play in Teesside’s industrial future. We want to help create a workforce on our doorstep with the knowledge, talent and abilities to ensure our communities benefit from that.”

A Renewed Partnership with Thirteen Housing Group

We are pleased to have partnered with Thirteen Group, the Northeast’s biggest social housing provider, to deliver a range of apprenticeships to 18 new employees.

The openings feature a mix of trade operative and office-based roles including business administration, electrical, gas, joinery, plastering and plumbing.

Training will be delivered through multiple Etc. colleges and training providers, including Stockton Riverside College, Redcar and Cleveland College, and Innersummit Professional Services.

Stephanie Douglas, emerging talent coordinator at Thirteen, said: “As a large employer in the North-east, we recognise the important role we play in developing and retaining talent in our region, which is why we are proud to support apprenticeships.

“Feedback from our current apprentices is really positive and it demonstrates our track record in delivering insightful and engaging training programmes, which have helped many of our colleagues to progress in their career at Thirteen.”

Erika Marshall, Group Marketing and Business Engagement Director at the Etc., said: “It is fantastic to work with Thirteen to bring these apprenticeship opportunities to the market for the young people of Teesside. They offer a fantastic first step for those looking to start their career or take a new direction in a range of different fields with an organisation grounded on principles of staff investment and development.”

Apprenticeships

The team at the Etc. continue to support employers with their business needs. This includes support with upskilling through apprenticeships.

Despite being predominantly associated with younger people; advanced apprenticeships can be a fantastic option for employees of any age to develop new skills and move into senior positions or transfer to new departments.

Apprenticeships continue to rise in popularity with an increase in uptake for 19+ apprenticeships and higher apprenticeships in 2022/23*.

*Statistics from gov.uk, January 2024.

The benefits of taking on an apprentice are set out below.

• Apprentices will remain in work as they mix on-the-job training with some off-the-job study hours.

• Apprentices can help to fill specific gaps within your organisation. Employees can be moved into a new role or work across departments where they can take on more challenging tasks, contribute to broader projects, and become more knowledgeable about the business overall and consequently, a greater asset to your business.

• Employees will receive top-quality training externally from an industry expert assessor from the Etc. This external knowledge can be brought back into the business for the wider team to benefit from. This can boost the productivity of your overall business.

• Professional development is an attractive employee benefit. Apprenticeships can lead to new career routes and more opportunities. They can also help to retain your workforce and reduce time spent on recruitment.

• Businesses can benefit from their staff learning modern methods and learning from industry experts as you can be assured that your company isn’t falling behind and attain a competitive advantage.

Apprenticeship Levels Breakdown

Apprenticeships are available at different levels, from entry level to master’s level qualifications. On completion of their training, an apprentice will receive an accredited qualification.

Funding for apprenticeships

Did you know, financial support is available from the government to hire an apprentice for your business?

Government contribution varies depending on the size of your organisation and your income. A business will be identified as a levy payer or a non-levy payer. To find out more, see our useful infographic opposite.

Apprenticeship Levy budget

Levy Payers

How much will you pay?

Employers with a wage bill of £3 million or more are required to pay into the apprenticeship levy. You will also receive an additional allowance of £15,000.

For example, if you’re an employer with a wage bill of £3,000,000, your levy sum will be £17,500. You’ll receive an allowance of £15,000 so your annual payment will be £2,750.

These funds will be added to your Digital Apprenticeship Service (DAS) account along with a 5% top-up from the government as digital vouchers.

As a levy-payer, you can pay for apprenticeship training via your DAS account. Once your digital vouchers have been spent, any additional apprenticeship training will be 95% funded by the government and you will contribute the remaining 5%.

I have a salary bill of more than £3m

Pay a levy of 0.5% of salary bill

Use your digital account within 2 years to train existing staff or recruit an apprentice

£1000 incentive for recruiting an apprentice aged 16-21

Any un-spent digital vouchers will be lost after 24 months and used to fund apprenticeship training for non-levy paying employers.

Non-Levy Payers

How much will you pay?

As a non-levy paying employer, the government will fund 95% of the cost of your apprenticeship training and you will pay the remaining 5%.

If you employ less than 50 members of staff and you recruit an apprentice aged 16-21, your apprenticeship training will be fully funded by the government.

Grant funding may also be available.

If you would like further support with accessing funding, our team can arrange a face-to-face meeting to explain more about the funding process.

Aspiring Leaders Empowered by Apprenticeship Programme

As aspiring leaders of the future, Lisa and Lyndsey were keen to develop their skills and work their way up in the workplace.

Encouraged by their employer, South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the pair embraced the opportunity to enhance their managerial abilities through a Level 5 Operations/Departmental Manager Apprenticeship with our professional services arm, Innersummit.

This apprenticeship covers various elements of management and leadership training including planning and management, managing teams, communication skills, personal and professional development and planning and delivering a project.

Since starting, Lyndsey has successfully worked her way up in the organisation and credits the apprenticeship with helping her get there and better support her team.

Lisa, is also putting her new skills into practice, leading a team, and thriving in the workplace. Both women demonstrate the power of investing in development and the impact it can have on career progression.

Read what they had to say...

Why did you decide to do an apprenticeship and what impact has it had?

Lisa

“I chose this apprenticeship as I was looking to improve my skills.

The apprenticeship has had a big impact on my career. It has helped me to build my confidence, developed my ability and skills to resolve conflict and enhance my communication skills and see things from other perspectives and support the team better.”

Lyndsey

“Leadership training is really supported by the organisation for aspiring and current managers.

The apprenticeship has really helped me secure my role and I am really enjoying it. I have learned a lot about building relationships with all the different stakeholders that I liaise with, and conflict management has been helpful as there is change in the workplace year on year.

I had not done a lot of team building work prior to receiving my promotion, so it was useful that the apprenticeship covered key theory and models around this. It helped me with leading the team on their first ever team building away day.”

How does the apprenticeship compare to other CPD work you have done?

Lyndsey

“There is in-house developed leadership training from my employer however, I have found the apprenticeship has gone further with testing my skills due to the on-the-job practical training and the portfolio and end point assessment aspects.

David has been my tutor throughout my apprenticeship, and he has been fantastic. He has provided so much 1-1 support and has been on hand to pick up the phone or send emails when needed.”

Would you recommend this apprenticeship to others?

Lyndsey

“I would 100% recommend Innersummit as a provider and the Level 5 Operations or Departmental Manager Apprenticeship to anybody who is going into management or just people who are interested in becoming a leader. It has really helped me to get to where I am.”

Lisa

“Prior to the apprenticeship, my training had been in-house, and it was quite nerve wracking to start a course with a new provider, but David has been there to support me and was there to pick me up and encouraged me to have more confidence in myself.”

Career progression for Taylor Wimpey joinery apprentices

After completing their 24-month Level 2 Carpentry and Joinery Apprenticeship, three Taylor Wimpey apprentices are progressing onto their Level 3 Craft Carpentry and Joinery qualification which will extend their training for another 15 months.

Taylor Wimpey is known for building highquality homes across the UK and with that comes a large demand for a skilled workforce.

Mandy Mann, Direct Trades Manager at Taylor Wimpey North Yorkshire, told us: “We regularly have an intake of apprentices within the business. Hiring apprentices is good for the future as we look to fill areas where there is a skills gap.”

Bradley, a 26-year-old apprentice and father of two, said: “Before the apprenticeship, I was doing work as a bartender, in warehousing, and retail, and then I found the apprenticeship online. I was set on finding a joinery apprenticeship due to the hands-on nature of the role and, having two small kids at home, joinery work would financially support my family.”

Lewis, age 20, had a different route into his apprenticeship, he said: “I heard about the role from a tutor whilst I was a full-time joinery student at the college. I knew my next steps would be to find a joinery apprenticeship, there was no plan B.”

Simon, age 21, studied A level Biology, Business, and Psychology before his successful application for the apprenticeship. He said: “I was very academic, but I didn’t enjoy classroom learning, or the thought of working in an office environment. It was hands-on work that I was drawn to, despite not having family with a working trade background.”

The three apprentices are doing their off-thejob training with Stockton Riverside College, one day a week, where they can make full use of the facilities. The course itself covers preparing and fixing building components, from the initial erection of a new building, through to the installation of all necessary fixtures and fittings, as well as a range of repair and maintenance activities.

When asked about the tutors, Simon said “They’re spot on. They’re very supportive and I can reach out to them when I am not at college by phone with any questions that I have.”

Despite being primarily interested in the role due to the hands-on nature, it seems they have benefitted from their apprenticeship in other ways too. Lewis noted: “The apprenticeship has been a massive confidence builder for me, it’s brought me out of my shell more.” Similarly, Simon added: “My communication has improved from dealing with colleagues and also with customers on the job.”

Recognising the international prospects that come with working for Taylor Wimpey, Brad said “In 10 years’ time, once I have built my skills and knowledge, I would love to transfer to Taylor Wimpey Scotland, or even Canada, and take my family with me.”

Michael Thompson, Joinery Lecturer/Assessor at the college, said: “It’s great to see Brad, Lewis, and Simon thriving. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to developing their skills have been truly commendable.

“A key part of their success has been the invaluable mentorship and support received throughout their apprenticeship. The guidance from their on-site team at Taylor Wimpey including mentors and site managers, alongside the fantastic management support from Mandy,

has played a crucial role in shaping their practical abilities.

“They are now looking to progress their skills and expertise within the trade by doing their level 3 qualification. This continued development will enable them to take on more complex work and strengthen their contributions on-site. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and look forward to seeing them continue to grow in their careers.

Business Administrator

Apprenticeship Level 3

Location:

Start: Roll-on-roll-off

Duration: 18 months

Entry Requirements:

Apprentices without level 2 English and maths will need to achieve this level prior to taking the end point assessment.

Mode of Delivery: Optional day release and workplace

Business administrators have a highly transferable set of knowledge, skills and behaviours that can be applied in all sectors. This includes small and large businesses alike, from the public sector, private sector, and charitable sector. The role may involve working independently or as part of a team and will involve developing, implementing, maintaining, and improving administrative services. Business administrators develop key skills and behaviours to support their own progression towards management responsibilities.

The responsibilities of the role are to support and engage with different parts of the organisation and interact with internal or external customers. With a focus on adding value, the role of business administrator contributes to the efficiency of an organisation, through support of functional areas, working across teams and resolving issues as requested. The flexibility and responsiveness required allows the apprentice to develop a wide range of skills.

BELP PROCESS

You will be assigned a single point of contact who you will meet to discuss your business needs and provide information relating to skills for work in the industry, or more specifically skill set required for any given role. Our Academy team will handle the rest and keep you informed throughout the process.

Bespoke Employer Led Training Partnership: CEL Homecare celebrates

the opening of its new office in Stockton!

Having recently won a government tender to provide health and care support to local residents, the CEL Homecare team were keen to put on a spread to mark this special milestone.

The competitive tender process considered social value which the business offers in spades. Another aspect of the bidding process focused on the upskilling opportunities available to staff working for the business. This is an area of pride for Rachel and the CEL Homecare team as they have worked closely with the health and care team at Stockton Riverside College to create a bespoke training programme which will offer continuous professional development (CPD) to team members who are looking to upskill. The programme will cover various aspects of health and social care and lead to a level 4 or 5 qualification in managing medication.

Jo Robinson, Sales and Business Development Coordinator at the Education Training Collective (Etc.), said “We offer a broad provision which employers can tap into to support their current team members and offer CPD. Where there is a bespoke training need, we work with employer partners to create the right training for their business. The support the Business Development team provides aims to take some of the stress out of the recruitment process, enabling businesses to concentrate on operations.

The partnership with CEL Homecare is a great example of a business which is growing and can benefit from our free services.”

With a new base comes new opportunities for local people looking for work in domiciliary care. CEL Homecare are looking to fill a busy roster to support their customer base and is working in partnership with Stockton Riverside College to deliver a six-week Care Academy which develops the skills and knowledge needed to start work in the sector.

Kelly Skeet, Adult Skills Manager at the Etc., said: “At the Etc., we pride ourselves on working with local businesses to deliver training which fulfils their recruitment needs. Our Bespoke Employer Led Programmes are perfect for delivering industry specific training for those who are looking to find work, upskill within the workplace or change their career. At the end of the training, learners receive a guaranteed interview for a role with a business such as CEL Homecare.”

Each student will complete 35 hours of practical work experience with an employer as a mandatory part of completing their course. These hours may be undertaken by students during breaks in the academic year, or they may have regular hours scheduled into their week. Our work experience team pride themselves on accommodating businesses to create successful partnerships therefore, work experience hours can be flexible to support employer needs.

Once work experience is arranged, the team will confirm student attendance and liaise with the employer regularly for feedback. Contact may be made in person, by email, or telephone. Employers are encouraged to reach out with any questions they may have at all stages of the process.

Recent work experience has taken place with many companies within the local area including the Army, Cleveland Fire Brigade, Northumbrian Water, and Aircon. Students across the group have also led on projects within college.
