 A new service based on proven results
Train to Gain is a new service run by the Learning and Skills Council, which is the organisation responsible for delivering the Governments skills strategy in England. You can find out more information about the LSC and the Governments skills strategy at www.lsc.gov.uk. Train to Gain is based upon the highly successful Employer Training Pilot (ETP) that has been operational
since 2003.
What Train to Gain give you?
Train to Gain can improve your productivity and competitiveness by making sure that your employees have the right skills to do the best job.
There are 3 ways to achieve this:
- Through a suitable skills analysis that assesses your organisations current and future needs
- By making recommendations on the most suitable training providers and the support services which are available
- By helping you get the best value for money from your investment in training and helping you choose the best way to pay for your training
Train to Gain funding?
As well as helping you access other sources of funding the Train to Gain service can also provide some funding itself. This includes:
- Free training to help your employees gain their first full level 2 qualification*
- A wide range of training for low – skilled employees
- The possibility of a contribution to wage costs for companies with less than 50 employees – to cover the cost of time sent in training
