Bath College - Delivering the training SMEs need

Call for Expressions of Interest

Introduction

The cost-of-living crisis and a struggling UK economy have hitthe SME sector hard.

Increased costs. Reduced consumer spending. Tight budgets. Wage pressures.

Today, it's hard to find the money to invest in the most important aspect of your business – your team.

Recent UK government evidence, however, reports that SMEs offering training will more likely see improvements in employment and turnover than those who don't.

For SMEs, it's difficult to find affordable training that fills the problems your business faces every day but can't seem to solve.

Bath College is developing a new affordable initiative to help you plug those skills gaps.

‍

How will Bath College address yourtraining needs?

Bath College is a not-for-profit training provider, delivering high-quality continuing professional development for businesses across BANES and surrounding areas.

As a college tied to its local routes, Bath College recognises these gaps in the SME sector.

So, Bath College is introducing a method to identify your skills gaps and build new course content to address them.

As an independent business, you might not be able to cover training alone.

Bath College experts can sit down and give you a FREE, no-obligation training needs analysis - a training plan to fill your skills gaps.

If you have a specific training gap no other SME has, the college will use its wide connection network to merge requests.

Then, the college will create a workable cohort for a newtraining course.
