Education and Training Awards 2023

Jul23446 Apprenticeship Training Provider of the Year - UK Learning a new trade or role can be a major challenge in the best of circumstances, but having a specialised place to educate yourself can make all the difference. The Education and Skills Partnership (The ESP) provides support to learners, drawing on the expertise of talented educators who have a lifetime of experience. We look more closely at the ESP team to uncover more. The Education and Skills Partnership is a unique company focused on going the extra mile when it comes to supporting the growth of its learners in a professional and personal capacity. With apprenticeships becoming ever more common within the workforce, it’s clear that there is a need to ensure that these courses are at the same high quality as any other further education scheme. Working alongside learners and course providers, the ESP has grown to impressive heights of success. The changing nature of the labour market means that individuals are now not just looking for trades which might become redundant in a few years, or in which they might be replaced and unable to train in new areas. Where The ESP stands apart is in the team’s awareness that individuals are looking for transferable skills that mean they can be adaptable in the labour market. The marketplace is one which is moving incredibly dynamically, driven in no small part by the postCOVID landscape, and the post-Brexit political position. These have left major gaps in industry sectors from engineering, construction, technology, health, and telecoms. The ESP offers a host of course options that meet the needs of these specific areas, ensuring that its learners can quickly find a place in the workplace. The team not only offer courses in these areas, but work alongside companies that are looking for skilled labour to provide funded options that can reduce the major burden that education often is. Needless to say, The ESP team are also able to support managers who want to upskill their own teams. Key to this approach, therefore, is an eye for what people need, both in terms of reaching the educational potential and in terms of their growth beyond the safe environment that The ESP offers. The team’s clients and learners are long-term partners by choice, and this proactive decision making really does make a difference. The ESP thrives when the team is able to work alongside clients and learners, sharing solutions and solving problems in their businesses. Looking ahead, it’s clear that The ESP has a great deal of potential that has yet to be fully realised. The next few years will see the team continue to support learners, clients, and partners in their learning journey, offering a host of different courses that are entirely relevant to the modern marketplace. These courses will be delivered through hybrid delivery options, training, and mentorship from the team’s professional body of Life Skills Coaches. Needless to say, the growth of The ESP is one which will continue so long as businesses need skilled workers – a job which is not going away any time soon! With such an important mission ahead of them, we cannot wait to see how this impressive establishment transforms to meet the needs of the 2020s and beyond.
