Our academies are education and training packages linked to local jobs.

We’re currently offering academies for care and support, cleaning, hospitality, and security. All four are delivered from the Multi-Media Exchange, our learning centre in central Middlesbrough, opposite Jobcentre Plus on Corporation Road.

Our academies last for one to two weeks, and often include:

  • an introduction to the area of work (care and support, cleaning, hospitality, or security)
  • effective communication skills
  • manual handling
  • Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
  • basic life support (first aid)
  • Level 1 Food Hygiene
  • a short work placement or work trial
  • guaranteed interview, interview support, and reference
  • help with DBS (criminal record) checks
  • safeguarding
  • digital skills (care and support)
  • basic DIY (care and support)

Our security academy is delivered by our commissioning partner, Associated Risks Group (ARG).
