Training and Skills Academy
The Garnsychan Training and Skills Academy is a volunteer led training programme.
Our academy provides an individual training programme for each placement to work towards. The programme is identified and decided by the beneficiaries themselves in order for them to think about how their existing skills and experience can be developed through training and education to help the individual become more competitive in the job market.
What Sets Us Apart
We find the most effective training is on the job training, whether it is accredited qualifications or through an on-job training plan. We have two training rooms where we provide a wide range of education and training for existing placements and employees.
​
Educating and training people with poor self-esteem and lack of confidence is challenging, but the Garnsychan Partnership has successfully proved that providing a safe, relaxed, and encouraging learning environment is the key to establishing a renewed workforce and economy in valleys communities.
​
We aim to provide a range of in–house workshops and training courses to increase confidence and boost skills set that employers require. Our Training Academy Office provides One–to–One Support to ensure that participants can address any barriers that prevent them from fulfilling their potential.
We are delighted to be awarded and recognised as a registered Investing in Volunteers organisation. This is a UK quality standard that helps you assess and improve the quality of our volunteer management and involvement, prove and improve our effectiveness of our work with volunteers and enhance our organisation’s reputation. Achieving the standard will show our current and potential volunteers, how much they are valued and give them confidence in our ability to provide an outstanding volunteer experience.
Alongside a weekly job club where participants can access advice and I.T. for Job Search and CV activities.
