Vocational Training Framework Employer Support
Are you looking for skilled workers? If so, we can help!
The Vocational Training Framework is part of the wider Joined Up for Business employer offer.
We understand that it can be a challenge to find enough people to fill your vacancies. The Vocational Training Framework focuses on helping you with entry-level recruitment and the talent management process.
We partner with training providers to deliver free, sector-specific skills training.
We collaborate with the Department for Work and Pensions, Skills Development Scotland, Developing the Young Workforce and other employability support provisions across Edinburgh to find the right people keen to move into work.
The Vocational Training Framework provides employability and vocational training, and links ready-for-work trainees with recruiting employers. Our courses are designed to complement your recruitment practice and be an effective, alternative way to bring the right people into your business.
We have a commitment from The City of Edinburgh Council funding to identify opportunities and links with employers, with a focus on priority sectors in need of staff. This programme is funded by the Scottish Government.
Working closely with employers is the key to delivering success for our City's economy.
"We feel the VTF was perfect for our needs and it allows the participants to be well equipped and ready for work once the programme is complete."
