Wakefield Skillcentre Ltd is a Career Transition Partnership (CTP) preferred supplier of resettlement training courses for service leavers.
Many armed services personnel are up-dating or extending a skill they have initially acquired before or during their military career, some are working to obtain the necessary qualifications giving recognition to a job they have been doing already, and others are taking the opportunity to go in a completely different direction.
Course critiques required by the Career Transition Partnership indicate a high level of satisfaction among Services leavers for the courses at the Skillcentre.
