North Tyneside Adult Learning Service

North Tyneside Council provides a range of apprenticeship and work-based learning support aimed at both employers and individuals. Through its Employment and Skills and Education to Employment services, the council offers a free and confidential service to employers in the borough, helping them create apprenticeship positions, analyse skills needs, match vacancies to suitable candidates, advertise roles, and access any available financial support. The team also helps employers identify appropriate external training providers to deliver the off‑the‑job training element of apprenticeships and can manage parts of the recruitment process, including job descriptions, interview support and exploring work experience options. For individuals, the council promotes apprenticeships as a route to gain paid work, accredited qualifications and workplace experience, with information available on apprenticeship opportunities across North Tyneside. In addition, the council’s Education North Tyneside service delivers work-based learning programmes designed to complement school curricula for young people, offering personal, practical and vocational training and accredited programmes to build confidence and employability skills. Overall, the council positions apprenticeships and work-based learning as key tools to develop a skilled local workforce and support progression into sustained employment.
