w2: about the UNIT
At Leeds City College, we strive to work closely with employers across all sectors to ensure that our training provision matches industry requirements. We have a dedicated team to help you get the training you need.
Efficient, motivated staff
Over 45% of staff say that they’d feel more motivated if their organisation invested in their skills. Training gives your employees the skills and awareness to do their jobs effectively, and the initiative and ambition to drive your business forward.
Enhanced profits
Getting the right skills in place cuts waste and boosts profitability. A typical 50-employee company could save £165,000 every year by filling the gaps in its employees’ skills (Employers’ perspectives on improving skills for employment, National Audit Office, 2005).
A competitive business
Training can help keep your business competitive. Whether you’re looking for bespoke training, continuous professional development or degree-level programmes, training keeps your skills up to date and makes sure you stay ahead of the competition.
Staff retention
45% of employees surveyed would feel more valued if their employer invested in their skills. By supporting your employees’ development and helping them gain valuable qualifications, you strengthen their commitment to your company. They’ll stay longer-term, cutting your recruitment costs.
Fewer unfilled positions
In 2007, 130,000 jobs remained unfilled because no suitable candidate was available. By training your existing staff you can be sure that you always have the right person for the job.
