Employers

It″s a fact. Businesses that invest in staff are more profitable.

If your staff don″t have the right skills for the future then neither does your business. Recent Government reports have warned that businesses need to improve the skills of their workforce if we″re to remain competitive as a nation.

Whilst Train to Gain is not new, the London Women″s initiative is. It″s available to all women to train to Level 3, whether they have no qualifications or a PhD. Also, if your female employees have already been a beneficiary of Train to Gain to Level 2, they are still eligible for this extra training.

Why Women, why London?

It is predicted that by 2016, 70% of jobs in London will be taken by women, but currently not enough women are trained with the skills some businesses need. Women in London are also less likely to return to work after a career break than elsewhere, but this is set to change and we need to help make that change happen. Women in London are also:

• Under represented in many business sectors such as transport, construction, finance & engineering
• Under represented in management & supervisory roles

These circumstances are generally worse in London than nationally, so the Train to Gain Women″s initiative is aiming to redress this predicted skills shortage before it impacts business in London and the wider national economy.

How can this benefit your business?

A large government subsidy has been made available in London to substantially reduce business training budgets. In some circumstances 100% of the training bill can be paid for you. This will allow your business to train its female staff to a high level, dramatically reduce your costs and give staff the skills to increase your productivity. In short, better:

• Staff retention
• Productivity & skills utilisation
• Succession planning
• Staff morale
