Funding available through the Government’s new Train to Gain
Train to Gain is a new service designed to help businesses get the training they need to succeed. It is funded nationally by the Learning and Skills Council.
The service offers free impartial advice on the skills needs of a business.
A Train to Gain Skills Broker will work with an employer to carry out an analysis of business need to assess what skills the business could benefit from. From this Organisational Needs Analysis the Skills Broker will give impartial advice on training and funding that is available. Skills Brokers also signpost to a range of business support agencies including Business Link, JCP, UKTI etc.
The Train to Gain service also offers funded training delivered by accredited training providers; this is for employees to gain their first, full level-2 qualification, including Skills for Life training.
For employers with less than 50 employees there is a contribution to wage costs for those who achieve an eligible qualification.
For more information or if you would like to arrange a meeting with a local Skills Broker please call 08457 512288.
