We can provide free training for employees working in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SME’s) under the ‘Train to Gain’ programme. Train to Gain is the name for a FREE* national scheme designed to help businesses improve their services, employees’ skills and productivity.
It intends to give all employed people the chance to gain at least a Level 2 qualification in core sector skills and basic literacy and numeracy.
Why would my business need Train to Gain?
Train to Gain can save your business money! The scheme is about assessing what individual companies and staff need and helping them find the right kind of training in order to become more efficient. You will also find that your staff become more motivated as they gain confidence in their abilities, which will improve the professionalism of your company.
A recent survey carried out by the LSC (Learning Skills Council) revealed that 7,000 adults in England lacked basic numeracy and literacy skills up to NVQ Level 2 and estimated that this costs businesses around £10 billion a year. By investing in your employees’ skills and qualifications your business will be in a better position to creatively and cost-effectively stay ahead of the competition.
How does it work?
We assess your individual needs – as a business and a group of individuals. We then offer Level 2 and 3 NVQ qualifications specific to your business needs, and other training that individual staff members may require, such as additional basic literacy and numeracy, or advanced IT qualifications such as New Clait and Clait Plus. All training and assessment is offered at your preferred time and place.
