Business Support and Skills Brokerage

Posted by Alastair MacColl on September 13, 2007 12:15 PM | 

The North East of England is a region with many assets. I’m sure most of us would say, its people and their skills are its greatest asset. That’s probably why an increasing number of businesses in the North East are treating skills and the development of their people as the biggest single priority.

Business Link North East provides the brokerage service for ‘Train to Gain’ in our region. The ‘Train to Gain’ service, which is supported by the Learning & Skills Council, provides impartial support for businesses as they try to identify their skills needs and how to fulfil them. That includes, helping to fund some of those solutions. Business Link now brings together business support and skills brokerage through one single regional service. Meaning businesses can now go through one door and get advice on all aspects of skills and business support.

Our brokers are all professionally qualified to a national standard. They will work with businesses to identify the skills your business needs; pinpoint the right training; agree a tailored package; find available funding and review the progress you are making.

This support can cover everything from programmes designed to improve productivity, through to management development. Our brokers will also provide advice on which qualifications are appropriate; the best methods of training; prioritise activity and access the right kind of providers.

So, if you need help and support in any of those areas, just call Business Link North East on 0845 600 9 006 and one of our brokers will be in touch to talk about how we can help you.
