 Argyll
Training is a limited company with charitable status
which was formed in 1991 when Strathclyde Regional Council
decided to disband Kintyre Training, their Youth Training
department. A business plan was developed to form a private
training company with the existing Kintyre Training staff.
In 1994 Argyll Training amalgamated with Grand Met Trust
in Argyll which increased the geographical and occupational
skill areas covered.
Argyll Training's aim is to provide flexible training packages
which will meet the needs of the workforce and contribute
to the prosperity of the local economy.
This is achieved through working in partnership with local
businesses and a variety of agencies including Local Enterprise
Companies, Employment Services and Careers Scotland.
We are currently operating throughout Argyll & Bute,
Renfrewshire, Dunbartonshire and Lochaber.
Much of the work is carried out working with partner organisations.
This collaborative approach has proved effective particularly
in rural areas, allowing clients to access a wide range of
training and support through a single point of access.
Argyll Training has contracts in place to deliver several
government funded programmes including Skillseekers, which
includes Get Ready for Work and Modern Apprenticeships, New
Deal Options and Training for Work.
We offer training and support to meet the needs of unemployed
adults aged 16 and upward. The training on offer ranges from
employability and life skills training for long-term unemployed
adults and those with additional support needs, through to
a wide range of vocational qualifications.
The Managing Director, Fraser McCowan, is represented on
the Beattie National Action Group and the National Education
and Training Working Group.
