But why introduce vocational training? What are the benefits?
Increased productivity
Make current team more productive and efficient. Vocational training programs combine practical skills and knowledge. So, throughout the training, you’ll have an additional pair of hands. This may start off with very simple, basic tasks, but that means that your current team can then focus their efforts in other areas. As each training course is tailored to each workplace and job role, you’ll have someone on your team that is always increasing their skills. Therefore, a trainee will be able to become more effective and productive with each month.
Improved Talent Attraction
At the core of vocational training is an NVQ Diploma. And this doesn’t just mean that you get someone trained in a range of comprehensive skills suitable for your business. Although that’s great in itself! By offering recognised qualifications, you will be able to attract future trainees and start to build a high quality workforce. There’s an additional benefit to upskilling your workforce with the provision of a tangible and recognised qualification. It can be at the core of a PDP and be an attraction tool for future prospective candidates.
