Did you know that around one third of all adults leave school without any qualifications? Or that almost 50% struggle to read, write or do basic maths? More worryingly, 70% of the UK’s future 2020 workforce have already completed their compulsory education.
Train to Gain provides funding, supporting employees to gain their first full Level 2 qualification and Skills for Life first numeracy and literacy qualifications and for those who have significant experience it provides the opportunity to “jump” to a Level 3.
The Train to Gain service is specifically aimed at employers who are not currently training their employees to achieve vocational qualifications. The Train to Gain service will target over 3 million employers in the small to medium enterprise category. (employers who employ less than 250 staff)
Skills are fundamental to the economic and social wellbeing of the UK. The continued prosperity of this country depends upon our ability to develop world class skills and knowledge. As an employer you have an important part to play in raising skills levels to meet this challenge.
To assist in realising this vision, TNG is working in partnership with the Learning & Skills Council to deliver a new programme geared towards the needs of employers called 'Train to Gain'. It aims to help businesses compete with the best in the world by allowing them easy access to the training they need to succeed.
