Since its establishment in 2024, the North East Combined Authority (NECA) has led efforts to create economic growth and improve quality of life across Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, and Northumberland.
By aligning regional priorities with measurable outcomes, NECA works alongside partners like Think Employment. We offer government-funded, Ofsted-approved courses that close skill gaps and open paths to success for learners. From Skills Bootcamps in Digital Marketing, Data Analytics, and Cyber Security to Teaching Assistant Courses and Level 3 Qualifications, our training equips individuals with the tools they need to succeed while meeting the needs of industries and employers across the North East.
The North East is a region of striking contrasts, from vibrant urban centres like Newcastle to historic towns, award-winning coastlines, and tranquil rural landscapes. Established in 2024, NECA focuses on economic growth, solving challenges such as an ageing population and many adults without formal qualifications. This focus ensures a thriving future for all communities.
The North East’s £40 billion economy supports over 820,000 jobs across digital technology, health and social care, creative sectors, and logistics. Despite challenges like productivity gaps, Think Employment equips learners with in-demand skills to thrive.
