Training and Apprenticeship Advice on Offer to Help Businesses Grow
Business owners and managers are invited to find out about local training and apprenticeship opportunities at a workshop being held at Casa Hotel in Chesterfield this March.
Hosted by Sheffield City Region, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and the Skills Funding Agency (SFA), the event will include presentations from small businesses that have grown by developing their staff and taking on apprentices.
Sheffield City Region LEP Board Member Nigel Brewster said: “The benefits of taking on an apprentice or investing in skills training for staff are clear. However, we know that for some sole-traders and small businesses the whole process can seem time consuming and knowing where to start can be a barrier. These events will begin to tackle this by giving local business owners practical advice about how they can upskill their workforce. Business growth is at the heart of the LEP’s vision, and we recognise that if business owners and managers give employees the right skills then they will be better able to grow.”
Melanie Ulyatt, FSB Regional Chairman, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, said: “The FSB is passionate about helping small business to grow and succeed. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the LEP and SFA to host these events which will give businesses up-to-date information and effective advice about skills training opportunities in Sheffield City Region.”
The workshop will take place Tuesday 10 March, 9am to 1pm, Casa Hotel, Lockoford Lane, Chesterfield. Free to attend, businesses encouraged to register online as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. For booking information visit http://growththroughtraining.org.uk/skillsevents.
