New training centre now open!
DCS Training CIC has opened a new training centre in the west end of Newcastle. DCS Training CIC opened their doors in 2004, to facilitate construction programmes to long-term unemployed learners wishing to enter employment within the industry. This has been part of Jobcentre Plus New Deal programme which has run successfully for the past 5 years, with an excellent success rate of clients entering employment.
DCS Training CIC has now expanded from their base in Byker to open a new centre on Whitehouse Industrial Est., Scotswood. The new centre will facilitate Alternative Provision for 14 to 16 year old learners who struggle to attend mainstream provision. We have the full support of the new Excelsior Academy, Youth Offending Team and Linhope School(pupil referral unit). We are also backed by Newcastle City Council, and are the largest provider of Alternative Provision within the city.
The centre will also deliver an Entry to Employment Programme starting from September in conjunction with Trinity Solutions, this is aimed at preparing learners for employment or further training i.e. Modern Apprenticeships, which DCS will offer from September ‘09. The aim of the centre is to create one place for learners to complete their Education Training from the age of 14 through to post 16 training and ultimately employment within the Construction Industry. DCS offer Joinery, Bricklaying, Decorating and Plastering beginning at a Basic Construction Award up to full Level 2 NVQ’s within each specific trade.
A centre open day will be held on the 12th October, and prospective organisations who are interested in our provision are more than welcome to attend. We are always looking for support from external organisations that can help us progress our learners, or if we can help support your organisation. We are committed to supporting local communities and are experienced at organising and managing community projects. So, if you have a community centre that needs plastering or a church hall that needs a coat of paint why not give us a ring and see how we can help you to get the job done.
DCS also offer commercial evening classes in Joinery and Plastering, H&S Courses, CSCS Cards and H&S Consultancy. For further Info see our courses section for a full prospectus.
