October 28, 2008

sencia - a top ten Adult Employment and Skills training business operating in the government Welfare to Work sector - has secured an £8m contract to deliver New Deal for Disabled People in the North West, North East and, for the first time, into Scotland.

Part of the Employability and Skills Group (esg) of companies, sencia delivers high quality training across the North East, North West, London, the West Midlands and the East of England.

Paul Knight, sencia’s Employability Director, says: “Our focus is on the delivery of the government’s agenda to get people off benefits and into work.  Our training improves peoples’ chances of finding sustainable employment and includes offering tailored provision to participants who find it particularly difficult to get jobs and are in real danger of becoming permanently excluded from the labour market.”

esg delivers learning and skills programmes on behalf of the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), National Employer Service, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Jobcentre Plus (JCP) throughout the UK.

esg operates across the UK, with operations in London and the South East, North East, North West, East and West Midlands, Yorkshire and Humberside.
