We are launching a new programme to empower residents and boost employment in Tendring.
Tendring Future Skills will be run by the University of Essex (UoE) Outreach team and East of England Energy Group (EEEGR).
Tendring is expecting to see over six thousand new jobs in the next 10 years as a result of local infrastructure projects.
These include:
- Freeport East
- North Falls Offshore Windfarm
- Tendring/Colchester Borders Garden Community.
Employers will need a range of technical skills to deliver these projects.
The two-year programme will help Tendring residents gain the skills to seize these new employment opportunities.
Tendring Future Skills will be delivered at primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities and with training providers.
The programme will include:
- building knowledge on industry practical work-readiness support
- careers advice
- mentoring
- resource packs
- support for applications and interviews
Councillor Tony Ball, Cabinet Member for Education Excellence, Lifelong Learning and Employability said:
Tendring Future Skills demonstrates our commitment to helping residents secure future-proof work and adapt to the changing economy.
The first of its kind, the programme will play a vital role in improving outcomes in one of our Levelling Up Priority Places. We are proud to be working with knowledgeable partners with proven track records to provide expert guidance and support.”
