Business: Training tracks

NEARLY a quarter of businesses in the east of England, including Bedfordshire and Luton, would like to provide training for staff but are not sure what they need, a survey has found.

Pat Smith, chief executive of government-backed Business Link in the East of England said: “Developing a skilled workforce can help your business thrive – choosing the right employee training sets it apart from the competition, and can increase productivity, staff motivation and profits.

“Making sense of the various training methods and schemes available can be a challenge, but support is at hand.”
