Rinova Consortium
< Return to
Partnerships
The Rinova Consortium is a unique pan-London
network of training and employment providers, working together to
create new learning and job opportunities for people of
all ages. We do this through long-standing and effective
partnerships, jointly design and deliver programmes, quality
assurance, seconding staff and associates to ensure complementary
expertise in delivery and using each other's facilities.
Together we implement creative and imaginative provision
in sectors such as the arts, creative industries, sport,
health and well-being, leisure, tourism, hospitality and
education to engage and inspire people to access skills and
learning, enter the labour market, progress within it, or return to
work and self-employment.
We have extensive reach within these growing
job sectors, through the work that we do with our consortium
partners and their employer networks, providing access to young
people 'NEET' (not in employment, education or training) to
traineeships and apprenticeships, and to people of all ages
and backgrounds to access business start-up, local and
international skills training and job opportunities.
