Around 120 jobs are at risk at one of the country’s largest training providers in a “strategic realignment” affecting its apprenticeships and adult education courses.
Babington Business College, an independent training provider, will scrap its adult education budget portfolio, including its digital skills bootcamps and sector work academy programme (SWAP) courses, as well as its apprenticeships training offer in the property, financial services and retail sectors.
It becomes the latest large independent training provider to exit the adult education budget market.
Mark Basham, Babington’s new chief executive officer, said: “This change is essential to continuing to deliver on our purpose to develop better futures for organisations, individuals, and the communities in which we operate.”
