We provide a bespoke brokerage service for Businesses, Education and Training Providers
The Skills Service is part of Opportunity Peterborough’s economic development portfolio. Responding to local business needs to fill skills gaps and develop employability skills in young people, we co-ordinate activities between businesses and schools, and other organisations with access to young people.
We understand the importance of having an appropriately skilled workforce ready to support the growing local economy and our fundamental role is to provide a brokerage service between businesses, education and training providers.
The Skills Service has 3 core aims:
- For businesses to fill skills gaps with aspirational and talented young people from their local area through employer engagements that we facilitate
- For young people to feel informed and inspired about the wide range of businesses, sectors and opportunities available to them by engaging in our events
- For local training providers to focus on the relevant skills to support the local economy using data gathered during our business interactions
We will be posting details of the activities we are organising with businesses and education providers in all areas, plus the latest skills news.
