Closing the skills gap: How NET Grimsby is fast-tracking young people into careers

In response to the UK's pressing skills gap and the government's ambitious employment reforms, National Employer Training (NET) in Grimsby is leading the way in empowering young individuals aged 19 to 24.

Through the NET Youth programme, participants gain essential industry qualifications, build confidence, and prepare for the professional world - all in just two to three weeks!

Addressing the skills crisis

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has identified significant skills shortages across Greater Lincolnshire and Rutland, particularly in work readiness and digital capabilities. To tackle this, the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) highlights the need for tailored training that aligns with employer demands, a mission NET fully supports.

NET works with Jobcentre Plus, Young People’s Support Services, and local employers to create clear pathways into employment, apprenticeships, and further education, ensuring young people develop the skills businesses need most.

Opportunities with NET

Graduates of the NET Youth Programme can access multiple career-building pathways:

  • Employment: Direct job placements with NET’s employer partners.
  • Bootcamps & apprenticeships: Specialised training in high-demand industries.
  • Further education: Support from the Grimsby Institute to gain qualifications in Maths, English, IT, and industry-specific skills.

Shaping the future workforce

With the Government’s ‘Get Britain Working’ initiative aiming for an 80% employment rate, NET is playing a crucial role in helping young people transition from education to work.

By bridging the skills gap, NET ensures that the next generation is confident, qualified, and ready to thrive in today’s job market, driving economic growth and securing brighter futures.

Get Involved!

We are looking for industry partners to help shape and support the future workforce. If your business is interested in recruiting talented young individuals, providing industry insight, or offering placements, we’d love to hear from you.

Additionally, if you know a young person who could benefit from our NET Youth programme, please get in touch!
