Skills Academy

The M-SParc Skills Academy has been set up to bridge the skills gap in north Wales, particularly in digital, science, technology and creative fields.

There are employees across the region looking to grow their workforce with skilled people, while on the other hand there are graduates, people who are under-employed or looking for a career change, who are looking for work but may be finding it difficult to gain experience.

The Academy aims to solve this by providing opportunities including degree apprenticeships, and work placements.

The Academy is currently full, having completed out latest intake in December 2021, but we’re very keen to add more talent to the team in the future. 

If you’re eager for a chance to develop within the Skills Academy and gain vital experience in a vibrant working environment, then fill in this form and we’ll be in touch when the Academy is next recruiting!

How the Academy can help you

The placements will be with companies at M-SParc and the surrounding ecosystem, and allow the Academy members to gain valuable work experience and develop their skills. 

They may then find employment with the company they are placed with, or will be in a much better position to find employment following their time at the Academy.
