Jamie’s Farm transform the lives of vulnerable young people
Jamie’s Farm is a charity in Bath and North East Somerset that combines farming, family, and therapy to transform the lives of vulnerable young people.
The charity has long embraced apprenticeships within farming but recently identified a need to strengthen its business and operations capacity.
The Mayoral Priority Skills Fund (MPSF) provides flexible grant funding to meet current priority skills gaps in the region. These priorities have been identified through robust intelligence gathered showing there are gaps in current provision and that there is no other current funding available to meet this need.
Western Training Provider Network is funded by Mayoral Priority Skills Fund Mayoral Priority Skills Fund to deliver a programme called West of England Apprenticeship Service to support apprentice starts in the region and improve completion rates.
Western Training Provider Network support all groups; new applicants, all ages, unemployed, NEET, school/college leavers and existing staff to upskill and progress them into work and beyond. They support employers with guidance and work with training providers to ensure a robust and supportive programme.
