Seetec Outsource has been awarded a £2 Million contract by Greater Manchester Combined Authority to launch the brand new Blue Light Development Academy, a training programme developed in collaboration with North West Ambulance Service (NWAS).
After also being selected to provide training courses for the Transport and Logistics sector, this is the second contract Seetec Outsource will be delivering as part of the GMCA Skills for Growth programme.
Our focus will be to help learners such as emergency service workers to develop their leadership skills including coaching and management, as well as supporting personal well-being. The courses will consist of face-to-face workshops and e-learning and will fit around the learners’ busy work schedules.
Lloyd DeVal, Director of Sector Skills at Seetec Outsource, said: “Working collaboratively with North West Ambulance Service, we’re delighted to be able to support the overall mental health and resilience of the emergency services sector in Greater Manchester by upskilling workers so they can progress their career development and improve their overall personal wellbeing.”
“As an award-winning provider with significant experience of delivering across Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), Seetec Outsource is well placed to deliver the skilled workforce that Greater Manchester needs to meet current and future challenges and embrace growth opportunities.”
The Skills for Growth programme’s purpose is to fill skills gaps in a number of industries within Greater Manchester. All of the courses on the Blue Light Development Academy are therefore fully funded through the European Social Fund (ESF).
