  Training Courses: What SPAT-C has to offer - Update October 2006

Who we are and what we do

SPAT-C Logo

 

Sheffield Positive Training Consortium (SPAT-C) is a pioneering voluntary sector organisation. The main motivation behind SPAT-C's creation has been a desire to combat the social exclusion of Sheffield 's Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities.

Its remit has now expanded to include the local white community, those of mixed heritage, as well as refugees, who are experiencing labour market exclusion and other forms of disadvantage.

The Agency's mission is to combat social, economic and cultural disadvantage through the provision of high value vocational training and to influence positive change within employment practice, mainstream service delivery and the wider policy making field.

A key policy objective is to design and deliver a range of accredited and non-accredited learning programmes so that beneficiaries can build their vocational skills at the same time as enhancing their confidence and self-esteem

Business Strategy

SPAT-C broad priorities in terms of business strategy are:

  • Diversify the curriculum offer in order to widen choice and enlarge the range of benefit to learners
  • Expand into new markets, developing new client bases within the corporate and third sectors
  • Continue to improve our Quality Assurance, Continuous Professional Development systems.
  • Commitment to ensure total and unconditional accountability through improved Management Information System (MIS)
