About

The Women's Organisation awarded a contract to South East Training Limited, Marbury Training Ltd, Alliance Learning, Virtual College Limited, Impellus, IRP Ltd trading as Interact, Richard Aldridge, No Guru Ltd, The Learning Curve, and Mellor & Lawrie Management for the delivery of goods or services under the Advice Skills Academy (ASA) Preferred Suppliers List.

The ASA is a European Social Fund (ESF) funded project running from October 2016 to September 2019 that develops a coordinated approach to identifying learning and development needs of staff within local Citizens Advice services and other partner organisations in the Liverpool City Region.

The project delivers a calendar of training opportunities, including internal Citizens Advice delivery and externally procured delivery, identifies other learning and development opportunities such as e-learning, coaching and mentoring, and supports the development of learning organisations responsive to the needs of staff, volunteers, and their learning, development and progression goals.

The project addresses higher level skills shortages in specialist advice services, provides training and support for workforce skills, knowledge, progression and productivity, offers a training and support route for disadvantaged groups seeking further job opportunities in the sector, improves management, leadership and progression capacity, and promotes equality by improving the progression prospects of women within the workforce.
