STAFF TRAINING
AND DEVELOPMENT

The manufacturing industry employs 2.7 million people in the UK. It is an industry that will always have a need for more workers, and it’s also an industry that is becoming more attractive to those who may not want to attend a traditional university. 

What is it that makes you stand out amongst your competitors? Is it the products you make and / or sell? Possibly. But rarely does a business offer us something that we can’t get anywhere else. More often than not, the value added that we get comes from the quality of customer service that we receive. As consumers, that’s what keeps us going back for more. As business owners, we know that’s what we need to deliver to our own customers. In an era where competition is fierce, your customer service is your USP. 

Inspiring increased staff productivity is one of the biggest responsibilities facing employers as they adapt to the 'new norm' of running a business in the post-coronavirus era. Using Trade Supplier apprenticeships to upskill employee responsibilities and motivation is the ultimate alternative to traditional staff training for companies in a wide range of industries.

Apprenticeships have become increasingly popular across a variety of different industries. More people are choosing to forego traditional collegiate educations in an effort to join the workforce faster. The same goes for the accounting industry.

In July 2020, the Government announced it's 'Plan For Jobs' to support businesses with new incentives for the recruitment of apprentices.

On Wednesday 8th July, the government announced its Plan for Jobs. It’s a clear statement of intent that skills, apprenticeships and work based learning are at the centre of policy decisions to rebuild the economy. Now is the time to recruit, invest in young talent and future proof businesses.
