Our Operations
We are preferred suppliers to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Jobcentre Plus (JCP) delivering a wide range of programmes re-skilling and motivating unemployed people back into the labour market. We were successfully awarded an Employment Zone contract in April 2004 by the DWP and currently operate as part of a multiple provider zone in Tower Hamlets and Newham supporting individuals to make the transition from benefits into paid employment as smoothly as possible.
We also work with the Learning and Skills Councils (LSC) which fund training for young people to both enter into and develop their careers and thereby upskilling the workforce. This is mainly achieved through Apprenticeship and Advanced Apprenticeship programmes in which we offer qualifications in a number of vocational areas and Entry to Employment (e2e) programmes. Our learners/trainees are employed by a wide range of small, medium and large companies
Through LSC’s other funding streams, we deliver workforce development activities, particularly NVQs, to raise the skills levels of organisations. We are extensively involved in developing Paperfree portfolios and using new technology to aid learners.
We work with companies and trade bodies to design courses which lead to employment or self-employment and have been at the forefront of the development of the flagship New Deal programme.
Our mentoring programmes, which work with disaffected clients, have received national recognition and TNG has developed into a National Provider of mentoring services both for JCP and other organisations.
