Companies 'investing in training'

Companies 'investing in training' Recent changes made by the government have seen an increasing number of companies investing in employee training, it has been reported.

The Train to Gain initiative is being extended to allow a broader range of businesses and workers to take advantage of the scheme, reports nebusiness.co.uk.

As part of the expansion, more small and medium-sized businesses will be able to access training to help offset the economic downturn.

Companies in the north-east already account for a substantial amount of the scheme's uptake, but there are still many firms yet to make use of its opportunities, the report continues.

According recent research from Ofsted, many employers are satisfied with the service, but are not yet demanding enough from it.

Patricia Wilkinson, North East chamber of Commerce acting training director, said it is "essential" that firms continue to invest in their employees' skills.

From January 2009, Train to Gain is to offer units of qualifications in sectors such as sales and marketing and IT support.
