EPNE training - Community
Our Community Work: Empowering Through Education
We deliver a wide range of community training programmes designed to meet the unique needs of local areas. Working in partnership with organisations, trusts, and charities, we provide access to fully-funded, nationally recognised accredited training.
Our offering includes flexible one-day workshops, designed with partners to support economically inactive individuals (those not currently seeking employment).
These sessions are delivered at no cost, thanks to government funding, making them an accessible route to boost skills and confidence.
Let’s Collaborate
Whether you represent a trust, charity, or local initiative, we can co-create tailored workshops based on your community’s needs.
Let’s work together to unlock potential in your community.
For Individuals: Open Doors
Running through to March 2026, Open Doors offers free courses aimed at helping individuals across North Tyneside and Northumberland gain new skills, grow in confidence, and access future opportunities.
