Taking the Lead: Rinova achieves success with Sector Specific Careers Clusters
Since our incorporation in 2010 Rinova has been involved in all
aspects of the delivery of successful, high-performing, large-scale
ESF programmes. From the innovative pan-London, Aspire2 programme
(led by partner Collage Arts), which moved young NEETs directly
into Apprenticeships, to the highly successful East London Skills
Support for the Unemployed programme (led by partner
15Billion).
During this time, Rinova has worked closely with its partners to
project manage, deliver and quality assure high impact projects
that continue to meet the challenges faced by some of the most
marginalized and disadvantaged groups in the capital. Until this
time, due to our relative infancy as a new venture (albeit one full
of 'old hands' and seasoned experts), Rinova has always worked
closely with trusted partners in a supportive, enabling role, with
those partners acting as Lead.
This changed in the summer of 2016, a year which saw Rinova
become potentially the biggest single deliverer of Erasmus+ in the
UK, and transform to a fully-fledged Employee Owned Company.
Working closely with partners from Wandsworth LA's Lifelong
Learning Department, and independent provider Learn Train Recruit,
Rinova, for the first time, bid for and was subsequently awarded a
significant SFA contract as Lead.
In July 2016 Rinova was awarded the SFA/ESF funded Sector
Specific Careers Cluster for the Food and Accommodation Services.
One of only 2 successful Sector Specific clusters, we built on
expertise developed through the multiple Travel, Tourism and
Hospitality projects we currently run across Europe. As a result,
this programme will enable us to deliver an exciting package of
employer endorsed activities, in schools and colleges, with the
specific aim of promoting the many varied and exciting career
opportunities available in the industry, across the capital.
Working hand in hand with Wandsworth LA's Lifelong Learning
Department to extend the popular Wandsworth Young Chef programme
and with partner Learn Train Recruit to develop further the Academy
of Excellence model - we will bring together prestigious employers,
schools and colleges to develop an exciting offer for the benefit
of employers, teachers and individual learners.
Of course, nothing will change in the way we work with our
partners or in our approach to quality delivery. We will continue
to work collaboratively and equally with long term partners,
Wandsworth Life Long Learning and Hospitality specialists, Learn
Train Recruit, as we continue to embody and promote the true ethos
of 'partnership'
working - but it is a significant moment for Rinova and a real
milestone in an already eventful year.
We look forward to working closely with our partners on this
project to deliver something truly innovative and inspiring. We are
genuinely excited and look forward to updating you on the progress
of this very unique project.
