Wales’ leading training provider, ±«Óãtv Training has opened a new skills centre in Caerphilly town centre, to give local unemployed youths a new resource to help them succeed. Located on Market Street (formerly the Bluebell pub) the centre, which opened 20^th May, will offer young people, specifically 16-18 year-olds, a range of °Õ°ù²¹¾±²Ô±ð±ð²õ³ó¾±±èÌý±è°ù´Ç²µ°ù²¹³¾³¾±ð²õ designed to kick start their careers.

The launch which was attended by Caerphilly AM Hefin David and ±«Óãtv Skills Ambassador Jonathan Davies, welcomed staff and learners to the new venue, which offers a variety of meeting, classroom and training rooms in a modern learning environment.  

±«Óãtv founder and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Cooksley, MBE commented: “±«Óãtv are fully committed to supporting young people fulfil their career potential and our new Caerphilly centre will do just that. As well as providing fantastic training and connecting our learners with local employers, it’s also about helping our young people become happier and more engaged citizens.â€�

Despite the latest ±«Óãtv statistics indicating that youth unemployment in Wales is on the decline, there are still 9,800 16-18 year olds who are not in education, training or employment (NEET).

In order to prevent young people becoming NEET, ±«Óãtv offers school leavers a helping hand progressing from education to the workplace via a Traineeship programme, which prepares 16-18 year olds for the world of work.

Learners at the new ±«Óãtv Caerphilly Skills Centre can expect to receive top employability training, high quality work placement opportunities and many other benefits, including fully-funded day trips. Learners will also have access to an in-house Counsellor, Opportunities Advisors and Attendance and Wellbeing Officers – all of whom are there to ensure learners make the most of their time at ±«Óãtv and help guarantee their future success.
