Digital skills training provider Netcom Training is working with The Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) as the official Technology Training Partner as part of its newly launched Business Services portfolio. Together they will deliver a range of short digital training courses to local business leaders and their employees, giving them the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the digital economy.
The GBCC’s Training Services operation has been established to support local businesses in unlocking new opportunities for innovation and expansion. Working alongside Netcom Training, GBCC will offer members and non-members access to high quality one-day courses, designed to improve digital skills within the region including Artificial Intelligence.
Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands, said: “Boosting digital skills and AI readiness for employers and business leaders is essential for driving economic growth and improved productivity.
“That’s why my Growth Plan sets out an ambition to make Artificial Intelligence skills training available to every adult in the region, so that they are able to use AI to make their everyday lives easier – whether at home, work or in the community.”
The first session AI Readiness Business Leaders will take place on the 11th of September 2025 at Netcom’s offices at iCentrum in Birmingham. Delivered in partnership with multinational corporation Intel, the full day workshop will guide attendees through the fundamentals of AI, demonstrating real world applications and preparing organisations for AI adoption.
Kevin Vashi, Managing Director at Netcom Training said: “We are proud to be GBCC’s official training partner. Together we will give leaders practical ways to use digital tools to positively impact the way they run their businesses. The AI for Business Leaders session will set the standard for accessible, relevant and future-focused business training in the region.”
David Woakes, Head of Commercial Development at GBCC added: “This is an excellent and exciting partnership for the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce as we re-launch our business services model with a range of training courses to support businesses in the region. The partnership with Netcom follows a recent policy support programme and aligns both with the training needs identified by our members in the survey, but also the goals and ambitions set out by West Midlands Mayor, Richard Parker, in the recently announced Growth Plan.”
