Why upskill existing staff?
Our training programmes and apprenticeships are designed to support your staff to develop the skills and confidence needed to excel in their current role or take on new responsibilities. Investing in your existing workforce comes with many benefits, including:
Improved employee retention and loyalty
Boosted productivity and performance
Specialist skills sets
Increased reputation through highly qualified staff
Low-cost training options
Upskilling staff can be costly, but we offer a range of fully funded and affordable training options to help reduce expenses. Below are a few of the ways we do this:
The Poppins Early Years Bursary: The bursary allows you to upskill new and existing Early Years staff at no cost to your business, training includes, apprenticeships, CPD courses, qualifications, and professional pathways.
The Nightingale Care Bursary: The bursary enables businesses to access fully funded health and social Care courses and qualifications to support staff training and development.
Skills Bootcamps: Bootcamps could be the perfect way to quickly upskill new staff. Courses are subsidised and cost the employer a maximum contribution of 30%. We currently offer bootcamps in Digital Marketing, Early Years and Project Management (Construction and the Built Environment).
Apprenticeships: Larger employers will use their Apprenticeship Levy to fund the programme. Employers not paying into the levy will pay between 0% and 5% of the overall cost of the programme. The programme will be fully funded if your business has less than 50 employees and the apprentice is 16-18 years old or 19-24 with an education, health, and care plan.
Flexible training options for busy teams
We understand that balancing work and training can be challenging, which is why we offer flexible training options to fit around your business needs.
Our programmes support the upskilling of staff without getting in the way of their daily tasks. Training options include apprenticeships, skills bootcamps, CPD courses and qualifications and bespoke training.
