Digital skills courses funding secured by Netcom Training

Digital skills, training and bootcamp provider Netcom Training has secured £802,420 in funding from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).

The courses will give people in Greater Manchester access to in-demand skills training and interview preparation for higher skilled, good quality jobs for another year.

They aim to boost employment in key growth sectors such as digital and tech, but also benefit employers by helping them to fill specific skills shortages and vacancies, increasing productivity within their organisations.

The part-time online courses offer modules in a range of skills including cyber security, data analytics, cloud, and infrastructure technician and are part of an ongoing arrangement between Netcom Training and Combined Authorities across the country.

They are available to those aged 19 years and over who reside in the Greater Manchester area and meet the relevant criteria.

Kevin Vashi, managing director at Netcom Training, said: “Greater Manchester continues to grow across all sectors. Whether it is the skyline, music scene or its evolving technology sector, you cannot fault the city’s drive to lead the charge in innovation. We are proud to be working with the combined authority for a second year as we deliver our range of courses to learners and look forward to another year of being part of the city’s change for good.”

The new contract demonstrates Netcom’s commitment to putting roots down in Greater Manchester as a city-region. It will create more opportunities for learners in the region to upskill or retrain in new disciplines and provide a pool of skilled professionals for local businesses.
