At MTC Training, we are proud to celebrate the incredible success of our UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) programme, which has supported Sunderland businesses in their journey to upskill their workforce and achieve their growth goals. Since its inception, the programme has filled over 750 training spots, equipping professionals from diverse industries with valuable skills in areas such as IT technical courses, cybersecurity certifications, desktop applications, and leadership and management development.
