EMPLOYER SHORT COURSES
Many companies can benefit from upskilling their workers through specific industry related training, with various study options offering workers a way to introduce new skills and expertise into their everyday operations.
However, it can also be a big commitment for a company to reskill an existing worker, especially if they are already facing a high workload. At the same time, individuals who are already well established in their careers may be hesitant about embarking on a new qualification.
While these are genuine concerns, there are still plenty of reasons to pursue this opportunity including better productivity, a more motivated workforce, and a more competitive business. Buxton & Leek College offers a range of affordable training from short one-day courses to degree level qualifications, in subjects as diverse as Food Safety to Leadership & Management.
