Careers:: TRAINING

Abstract

Britain's biggest Skillcentre — when fully operational it will have 576 training places — has opened at Handsworth, Birmingham. To meet the increased need for training in the area, the Skillcentre has been rebuilt and extended to meet the demands both of prospetcive trainees and employers so that it is now the largest in the country. The potential output will be 700 trainees a year in 33 occupations. These men and women are Training Opportunities Scheme (TOPS) trainees. TOPS offers to men and women aged 19 and over the opportunities to train for a new or better job in craft skills, clerical and business studies through to technician, executive and managerial skills. Courses are run in Colleges of Further Education, employers' establishments, and TSA's own Skillcentres.
