Student Worker Education Programme (SWEP)

The SWEP scheme has been developed by Concordia in response to business needs.  It will deliver a structured training programme to students from non EU countries that will give students points towards their home country qualification in addition to valuable work experience and a UK qualification.  We are working with J E Piccaver & Co and their intake of students during 2010 to deliver all of the training elements.  The student is charged a weekly fee by Concordia to cover all costs of the training.  The employer must support the student and ensure that the training takes place.

The scheme is open to any business to take advantage of.  Please contact Lorna if you want to know more.
  

The Training Centre

The Training Centre is available for you to use for meetings and training events.  Please contact Trish to check availability and rates.
