Representing the Ladder Foundation for Coventry and Warwickshire, a leading campaign aimed at raising awareness of apprenticeship opportunities across the region, Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Training recently exhibited at the West Midlands Jobs and Skills Showcase at The Library Birmingham alongside The Ladder for Greater Birmingham.

Sally Lucas, Executive Director at Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber Training said: “The Ladder Foundation is a platform offering advice on apprenticeships and can signpost you to quality local providers offering the types of jobs people are looking for.

Chamber Training’s Summer Schools and Taster Events

Working in partnership with local schools over the summer break, Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Training offered a series of short courses, funded by the European Social Fund (ESF). The ‘Summer School’ courses helped to raise awareness of the competitive world of work for young people and provided an invaluable pathway from education into employment.

The ‘Summer Schools’ consisted of four short courses with options in employability, accountancy, hairdressing and children’s care and helped a number of young people to gain experience and new skills. The training helped the young people to identify their strengths, transferable skills and aspirations, with a particular emphasis around interview techniques, making successful job applications and CV development.

Commenting on the summer schools, Sophie Florance, a Recruitment Advisor at Chamber Training said: “The Summer Schools were designed to support young people in Coventry.

“By attending one day a week during the summer holiday break, the young people learnt how to build their confidence and knowledge of what the local job market offers.

“The courses included accountancy, which offered an insight into financial transactions, book-keeping systems and business accounts and the child care course gave an insight into the childcare industry. Individuals also heard from other apprentices who are following early year’s apprenticeships with an opportunity to participate in an interview with a nursery manager. For the young people interested in hairdressing, the course offered an insight into the creative world of hairdressing along with an opportunity to work alongside junior stylists in a fully working salon. “The Summer Schools were ideal for anyone Post-16 who were considering options for the future. We can also help mature candidates wishing to make a career change or develop their skill-set.

“From September 2022, we will also be offering a series of taster sessions, which will give school aged people an opportunity to have an insight into working in their preferred sector.”
