Herefordshire & Worcestershire Group Training HWGTA

Herefordshire & Worcestershire Group Training HWGTA We are an Ofsted "Outstanding" training provider, specialising in apprenticeships and workforce development training courses. HWGTA are unique.

As a local, employer-led, not-for-profit organisation, we are dedicated to meeting training needs of local businesses. HWGTA is “one of the best providers of bespoke apprenticeships.”- Ofsted 2016. We are specialists at providing bespoke training for workplace competence and qualifications across Herefordshire, Worcestershire and further afield. I oversee the development and delivery of our management and leadership programmes. We are an accredited Institute of Leadership and Management Centre. For a list of the courses we deliver, see www.hwgta.org/courses

We have a positive and dynamic approach to working with companies from the manufacturing, processing, finance, legal and service sectors, ranging from small family businesses to major international companies, together with utilities companies, local authorities and primary health care trusts. We believe in providing help and advice in a positive way, and are enthusiastic and work hard to develop on-going relationships with our members and customers. We work in partnership with individual organisations to identify their training requirements both to develop existing employees and to recruit and train new personnel. We are financed and controlled by local companies.This means that our member companies decide how they want their training organisation to be run for maximum benefit to their businesses, employees and the local community. It means that we design our training provision in direct consultation with our customers. With our expert staff and top class facilities, we can provide ‘off site’ training and ‘on site’ support, brought together seamlessly into an effective training solution. This in turn produces employees who are skilled and motivated, able to fit in easily to the work environment for which they have been trained. For more information see www.hwgta.org

We were delighted to welcome Jesse Norman, MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire, to HWGTA today, where he was hosted by our Chief Executive, Nigel Morgan. During the visit, Jesse met with Stuart Taylor, Senior Group Engineering & Quality Manager of HR Smith, one of HWGTA's long standing employer partners, to discuss the vital role apprenticeships play in developing local talent and supporting business growth across the county.

The visit provided an excellent opportunity to discuss the skills challenges employers continue to face, the importance of investing in future talent and how apprenticeships help create sustainable career pathways while addressing local workforce needs.

Jesse also met accountancy and engineering apprentices from a range of local employers, hearing first hand about their experiences, career ambitions and the positive impact apprenticeships are having on their professional development. Apprenticeships remain a key driver of economic growth, productivity and social mobility within Herefordshire and beyond.

Thank you to Jesse for taking the time to visit, to Stuart for supporting the discussion from an employer perspective and to all the apprentices who helped showcase the outstanding opportunities being created through apprenticeships in our region.

The sessions focused on key areas that help apprentices thrive, including:

✅ Safeguarding responsibilities and recognising concerns

✅ Effective mentoring and workplace support
✅ Identifying and tackling barriers to learning

We were delighted to welcome Adam Tipper from Next Gen Makers, who shared his insights on creating a positive apprentice experience and the important role that effective mentoring plays in helping apprentices succeed.

A huge thank you to all the employers who invested their time in developing their knowledge and skills. By working together, we can ensure apprentices receive the support, guidance and opportunities they need to succeed.

At HWGTA, we support employers every step of the way, from recruitment and onboarding through to training and ongoing development. If you'd like to explore how an apprentice could benefit your business, please contact [email protected]
