Collaborate to Train is a three-year project to engage over 250 local small businesses in Coventry and Warwickshire to proactively support business to get involved in the education and workforce training system.

The project will also analyse existing service delivery in areas including work experience, apprenticeships, internships and schools partnerships to discover good practice in collaborative working, challenges and barriers encountered.

The project aims to ensure that Coventry and Warwickshire’s education and training activities are business led, fit-for-purpose and responsive to the needs of local employers.

Our aim is to engage with more businesses, focusing on SMEs to get them involved in education and training, providing them with the support and guidance to take on more Work Experience Students, Supported Internships and Apprenticeships.

The project will also encourage businesses to get involved with activities within Schools, whether that is the provision of work experience opportunities or short term with school interventions
