NET Work Academies and Pre-Employment Training

Work Academies and Pre-Employment Training

Sector-Based Work Academies (SBWAs) are government-backed programmes in the UK designed to help jobseekers gain the skills, qualifications, and work experience they need to secure employment in specific industries.

They’re typically short, focused training courses that connect people looking for work with employers who are actively hiring in sectors like health and social care, construction, logistics, hospitality, teaching, warehousing, security (SIA) and Manufacturing. At NET, we have a fantastic range of Sector-Based Work Academies that cover a variety of industries across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire.

Our Sector-Based Work Academies are designed with employers to create a tailored package, this gives the best possible opportunity for our learners to gain employment. On completion of the Work Academy, learners are guaranteed an Interview with the sponsored Employer.
