Focus at 50, (funded by European Social Fund and Co-Financed by the Learning and Skills Council,
Lancashire) is a project provided by SYSCO Business Skills Academy Ltd and CENTRA Education & Training Ltd, that looks to engage the development of enterprise and support individuals
alike. It has been developed to support those who are over 50 and are working within the retail, tourism
and leisure industries within Blackpool, The Fylde, Preston, Chorley and South Ribble. It is a proven fact
that living longer, fitter lives means that we need to make it easier for people to remain/engage in
employment and therefore extend their working lives. This project aims to stimulate demand for investment
in skills from employers and adopt a Skill Brokerage system to provide high quality responsive support in
order to meet regional skills priorities within the Leisure, Tourism and Retail sectors.
Apart from the training courses themselves we have also established a Focus at Fifty website which will
enable you to talk to other like minded people as well as your assessor/trainer and provide you with a
one stop shop in order to access the other over 50s websites that may be of interest either to you, your
family or indeed your friends.
