Partnership Formed to Deliver Logistics Training to Local Employers
JHP Training have been awarded £850,000 by the Government to deliver logistics sector based Apprenticeships in the West Midlands region. This contract potentially worth a further £3m will ensure the delivery of apprenticeships to 16-18 years olds and 19 year olds plus.
Whilst adding a brand new sector to our growing Skills portfolio, local businesses will benefit as JHP Training team up with well-established and reputable, specialist logistics training provider Targeted Training Projects (TTP) to deliver this project. They are better known as LATA – Logistics Apprenticeships Training Academy.
Only twelve organisations in total won a share of the £7m of Government funding to set up new Apprenticeship Training Associations (ATAs) and Group Training Associations (GTAs). These models are designed to help a range of organisations to offer 14,000 apprenticeship places over a period of three years, focusing on 16-18 year olds, after identifying skills shortages in the following areas: environmental, creative, engineering, manufacturing, logistics and business administration.
The nine ATAs and three GTAs recently awarded Government funding will provide over 3,000 apprenticeship starts this academic year. The Apprenticeship places offered by these new associations will make a significant contribution to the Governments’ target of 250,000 people starting an apprenticeship this year and overall ambition on Apprenticeship numbers over the next three years.
JHP Training will provide long-term apprenticeships of up to 850 places this year, and will benefit from the expert knowledge that TTP bring with their new partnership which launched on 5th November.
Catherine Fisher, Skills Director, “This is an exciting opportunity for JHP Training and we are enthusiastic about our partnership with TTP, especially in combining our 25-years’ expertise of delivering apprenticeships along with TTP’s specialism in the logistics training sector.
This funding will offer an excellent support and progression option for young people across the West Midlands area, and plays a vital role in the re-growth of today’s economy and youngsters.
I am confident of the success that LATA will bring to employers and individuals within the West Midlands.”
JHP Group actively promotes and supports equality of opportunity for all, regardless of ability, age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or religious belief.
