Fully Funded Training for your Staff
Essex
Chambers of Commerce are delighted to announce that, in partnership
with Ixion Holdings, we have won a further contract, "Advantage
East", to deliver Level 2 NVQ training to our members, free of
charge, for the next 27 months.
Companies with less than 250
employees will qualify for fully-funded training at level 2. Staff
aged 19 and over are eligible - it does not matter if they have
already achieved a Level 2 NVQ or 5 A-C grade GCSEs/'O'
levels.
Training will be carried out in the workplace by a Chamber Assessor
so the impact on company time is minimized.
Delivery of Skills for Life is
included if identified as appropriate, and all candidates will be
screened for Skills for Life needs.
This is a wonderful opportunity for
Chamber members to continue to upskill their staff using the
resources and experience of your own Chamber. Your employees will
benefit by becoming more confident and efficient in their roles,
plus they will achieve a recognised qualification. The involvement
of the Chamber Network in helping to educate the workforce of the
future has long been a key element of Chamber Policy, and it is
very rewarding to be able to announce that, once again, we are able
to extend the training 'offer' across the County.
Do please bear in mind that we have
27 months in which to deliver this contract. If you are currently
in the process of identifying future training needs for staff and
developing training programmes, remember, you do not have to rush
into anything, you can take up this offer at a later
date.
