We’re working hard to continue to provide the best possible service to all of our applicants, learners and employers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and help you to achieve your goals and aspirations.
Here are some of the measures that we’re taking to support you:
If you are applying to join a programme of learning or an apprenticeship with Skills Group:
• We are still accepting new applicants to join Skills Group and are utilising remote interview options to progress your application.
• We understand that this is a particularly confusing time for school leavers and our expert team remains available for your careers advice and guidance whatever your grades may be.
• Simply call 01752 332442, apply via the website HERE or email enquiries@skillsgroupuk.com and one of our friendly team will be able to discuss your options.
If you are already enrolled with Skills Group:
• Our dedicated trainers and assessors are working closely with our learners and apprentices to help them continue to make progress through online teaching and learning activities, including off-the-job training.
• We are ensuring that your qualifications can still be completed, and are working with awarding bodies to adapt how your assessments can take place where required.
• We will continue to support you to develop your career aspirations so that you can still progress onto the next level of your course or apprenticeship.
• Our Horizon Training Centre at Plympton remains open to provide a safe sanctuary for children of key workers or vulnerable learners. Safeguarding remains our top priority and any concerns can be reported to safeguarding@skillsgroupuk.com.
If you are an employer:
• Our team is available to support you throughout this unprecedented time with advice and guidance regarding apprenticeships and programmes of learning.
• We are supporting furloughed apprentices with remote off-the-job training so that they can continue their apprenticeship and make progress.
