Through our Support in the Workplace initiatives, we can help local organisations develop their workforce through tailored training, apprenticeships, and meaningful employer partnerships. We work with national companies too, providing apprenticeships and work-based training across multiple disciplines.
Apprenticeship training
We can advise on which apprenticeship programmes align with your training and roles. We can also guide you through the process of setting up adverts and funding on the government’s ‘Digital Apprenticeship Service’, discuss your eligibility for funding, and agree training options for your new employees. We work with hundreds of employers each year, so are highly experienced in supporting your needs.
Bespoke training for your organisation
With access to a wealth of teachers and trainers, we can run bespoke sessions to suit your employee training needs. This might include statutory compliance training which will be required by law for your employees to undertake. Or there may be useful upskilling or even supporting staff wellbeing we can work with you on.
Support with your recruitment
Sector-Based Work Academy Programmes help your organisation recruit people with the right skills to sustain and grow your business. We create bespoke programmes tailored to your recruitment needs, bringing together pre-employment training, a work experience placement with your organisation, and guaranteed interviews to support your recruitment.
Work experience opportunities
If you can offer work experience placements for our students – a great way of engaging with a future talent pipeline, then talk to our Careers team who can find students for you.
Email careershub@osc.ac.uk if you’d like to get involved.
Be part of an employer advisory group
To ensure we are reflecting local employer needs in our curriculum, we work with employers to take on their advice and suggestions about how we ensure we are embedding the right skills and learning into the lessons we teach. This is vital to prepare our students for real work environments on leaving us, and make them highly desirable and suited to the local employment landscape.
