About us
The Garton Gresham Learning Company was founded in 1995 to help develop
individuals, teams and organisations by working in partnership with them
- enabling them to reach their own decisions using the best available
information and processes.
In that time we have worked with many of the Midland’s leading
development agencies and public bodies on a wide variety of multi-agency
projects including
- European Social Fund Adapt project: increasing the
skills of the workforce of small to medium-sized manufacturing companies
in technical and key skills.
- Alternative Vocational Curriculum for 14-16 year olds:
at risk of dropping out of school. The evaluation findings of this project
provided the basis for a city-wide guide to best practice.
- Nacro Pre Gateway programme: meeting clients’
needs (including basic skills) in relation to breaking the cycle of
disadvantage, crime and prison
- Birmingham Rathbone Society Stepping Stones: Enhancing
achievement, progression and the personal outcomes of Work Based Learning
trainees with learning difficulties
- Nexus West Midlands: breaking the cycle of drugs,
commercial sex, crime and custodial sentences working with the Department
of Health, Home Office, West Midlands Police, West Midlands Probation
Service, various drug teams, and Birmingham City Council
- New Step Training: identifying critical social inclusion
factors that affected the initial engagement, retention and completion
rates of disengaged 16-18 year olds in Birmingham and Solihull involving
Careers Business Partnership, Youth Service and Education, training
providers, hostels
- Networking and referral activities: between Adult
Education and Job Centre Plus training providers in Birmingham resulting
in greater participation
- ESF Integra ‘Open Door’ Project: high
quality hostel accommodation plus key skills training for homeless 16-25
year olds working with Focus Housing Association, Trident Housing Association,
Salvation Army, Big Issue, Scope Employment), City College Birmingham
- A new Learning to Read scheme for children: looking
at how suitable it was for adult learners and what changes would need
to be made to make it suitable
