Jobs lost as training providers set for closure

Two training companies with offices in Yorkshire are set to close after their parent company, college group NCG, has announced plans to cut 300 jobs.

Sheffield-headquartered Intraining and Rathbone Training, which both share an office in Hull, are earmarked for closure.

Both companies account for less than 20% of NCG’s total revenue.

The group claimed that this move would create “a single, smaller, digitally-enabled business focussed on delivery of high-quality apprenticeships for the tech, management and professional occupations.

In a statement NCG said: “That future operation will be closely aligned with the Group’s overall mission and values – working closely with NCG colleges to enrich its proposition and generate bottom-line benefits for clients and learners.

“The changes we are proposing will strengthen NCG’s already robust position, supporting our ambition to invest in teaching, learning and facilities.

“The unfortunate effect of these proposals would be substantial redundancies in Intraining and Rathbone.  We will confirm our future plans once the consultation has concluded.

In moving forward, we will put the interests of learners first and support them to finish their programmes wherever possible.”
