Prospect Training Services

General information

For over 20 years, PTS have been sending resources and second chances to those who need it most. Louise Pinnell, the company’s founder has sought to help people fulfil their full potential since the company’s inception, helping over 45,000 young people and adults who are not in education, employment or training get back into work. The social impact value calculator HACT estimates the work PTS has done for their learners worth at least £11.78 million to the community. For the lives of the thousands of learners PTS has helped, the service provided has been invaluable.

PTS have the skills and diversity to cater to the individual. Its six training centres work to address literacy and numeracy deficiencies, incorporating teaching within vocational training courses. The pioneering Young Parent’s To Be programme equips young expectant teens with information on pregnancy and childcare, as well as working towards formal qualifications. Physical activity is both a reward and tool of learning on the innovative GOALZ programme, assisting learners to achieve sports qualifications, whilst also working towards their maths and English. All of PTS’ programmes give people who may otherwise struggle in traditional classroom environments a chance to thrive, and for many, a kick-start to their career. Taking full advantage of the opportunity the digital world has afforded, 1500 students having now benefited from a PTS eLearning course. In-house developed educational apps, including the award-winning iObserve, (dubbed an “educational game-changer” by Ofsted) have improved the reach and delivery of learning.

Active partnerships include: the European Social Fund, the Skills Funding Agency, the NHS, the Job Centre for the Department of Work and Pensions and Ohio State Department State for Education
