A PRISON education provider is set to continue delivering education and training to support individuals in finding employment after release.
Novus delivers education in public prisons across the region under the Prisoner Education Service (PES).
Following a procurement process run by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Novus (part of LTE Group) will, on September 1, commence delivery of Core Education.
The contract covers eight prisons across the region including HMP Hewell.
Peter Cox, managing director of Novus, said: “We has a long track record of effective collaboration with prison regimes and employers across the West Midlands, and we are delighted to continue delivering education in this region.
“For more than three decades, Novus has been providing high-quality education and training in the prison estate, working with learners who are the furthest from the labour market. We are proud of our track record in supporting individuals into employment after release, as well as the innovative practice led by our committed teams of education professionals.
“We look forward to working closely with His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) to help more people in the West Midlands turn their lives around.”
