Training & Development

Workforce development provides various short courses, bespoke training, higher education and apprenticeships that cover a wide range of disciplines. These programmes support the continuous professional growth of working individuals, enabling them to update their knowledge or learn something new while balancing their studies with work and other commitments.

We also offer customised and bespoke programmes to companies, ensuring that the course or apprenticeship is tailored to their specific needs - now and into the future.

Apprenticeships

Our expert business team will spend time getting to know you and your business. Our holistic approach to assessing your workforce enables us to identify areas where investment can deliver optimal results. Partner organisations frequently take advantage of our vast and high-quality apprenticeship provision, securing long-term solutions to problems such as an ageing workforce, high turnover of staff, a lack of digital skills and more.

Invest in your business and workforce 

By enrolling staff on one of our short courses or apprenticeships, you will be investing in your future business success. Our programmes run at various times throughout the year and vary in length, so there will be training opportunities for all circumstances.

There are also different ways you can receive funding for staff training that our teams can help you with.
