The project will provide a strategic approach to addressing identified skills gaps across Cornwall & Isles of Scilly through delivery of business-led programmes designed to upskill the workforce. Please note: all training delivery must take place in C&IoS. The intention is to produce a Framework that includes a core number of freelance tutors, training providers and consultancy services, making readily accessible a wealth of training and development opportunities for SME businesses across C&IoS. Training opportunities and consultancy services must be geographically spread across the County in order to be able to service the needs of employers in North, Mid and West Cornwall, and the Isles of Scilly. Employers will be able to pick from a predetermined offer hosted by the individuals and organisations on the Framework. Further to this, those named on the Framework should be able to design and deliver bespoke training as required by employers and agreed by CMN as part of the ELS project. Training will be delivered across sectors and as such the framework will include a training and consultancy offer that covers a wide scope of provision including, but not limited to: \*Strategic and operational support: consultants who can support businesses to develop strategy and longevity, as well as offer mentoring and coaching for current and aspiring business leaders. \*Generic business skills: training to support businesses to grow and be sustained, as well as those currently offered by CMN. For a list of the current CMN business offer please see here: [cornwallmarine.net/training-courses](https://cornwallmarine.net/training-courses) \*Marine: short courses such as fire safety, RYA, Powerboat, Water sports instructor, SUP, STCW, sustainable energy and other marine based training \*Sector specific short courses: in areas such as digital solutions, construction (digger, forklift and tele-handling), arboriculture, welding and retail CMN is keen to create a framework that offers employers a wide scope of training and development, and meets the diverse needs of businesses across C&IoS. Freelance tutors, external training organisations and consultancy services are therefore encouraged to submit proposals for consideration that while not stated, would offer value to one or more of the sectors identified above. In order to apply for inclusion on the Framework, individuals and organisations must submit a proposal that covers the courses/service offered and is in line with the requirements outlined in the Invitation to Tender document. Additional information: Please note: it is a requirement of the EFS ELS project that all delivery must take place in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Therefore only tenders from individuals and organisations who can physically deliver within the county and on the IoS will be considered.
