We are proud to work with a number of colleges across the West Midlands, Black Country and Staffordshire to provide SWAPs. SWAP stands for Sector-based Work Academy Programmes. The programmes help those who are currently unemployed find work in schools near them.
Our SWAPs last up to 4 weeks and provide an opportunity to learn new skills and get experience of working in schools that are local to you.
Our SWAPs are available for jobseekers claiming either Universal Credit, Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA).
If you'd like more information, get in touch to speak to one of our friendly team.
We've run a number of successful SWAPs with both South and City College Birmingham and Halesowen College. We have been able to find work for over 60% of those who have completed the programme and feedback from our schools about those from the programme has been outstanding.
Ferida, who completed our first ever SWAP with South and City College Birmingham, has gone on to work in a number of schools, in a number of roles and recieved amazing feedback, following her completion of the programme.
If you would like be a part of one of our SWAPs, then please register your interest using the form to the right. We'll then pass your details over to the relevant person at one of our partner colleges.
