Don't let the economy take your edge

Now may be a better time than you thought to consider extra training for staff.

Since January 2009 companies in south east England with between 5 and 250 employees qualify for grants between £500 and £1000 from the Government’s flagship service "Train to Gain" (TTG).

To help your business succeed in this time of economic challenge, it’s vital that you invest in skills. Training increases productivity in the short term – and employers who don’t train are 2.5 times more likely to fail than those who do.

Train to Gain helps businesses of all sizes, in all sectors, to increase the skills of their workforce and improve the performance of their business. We can help you:

• use training to meet your short-term challenges
• emerge stronger, ready to take advantage of new opportunities

Look at the range of courses available on this site and then talk to us so we can help you suggest or tailor the most suitable courses for you and your staff. We can also explain how you would then apply for the TTG grant.

The economy maybe slowing down, but your competitive edge needs to stay sharp to make the most of opportunities now and to be ready for when things pick up.
