Information for Businesses

A lack of  highly skilled people has been identified by a range of employers as a significant factor affecting their ability to compete, diversify and grow and many employers are concerned that there will not be enough skilled people to meet their future workforce needs.  Nearly a third of all jobs require degree-level skills and the proportion is set to rise in the future.

Do you need more people in your workforce with higher level skills?

We can offer practical and pragmatic solutions to your training needs by offering bespoke, high quality, flexible training to contribute to higher productivity and greater employee satisfaction.

We can provide advice and guidance on business needs and then refine your requirements to develop the right training programmes for you.  Investing in training and development not only provides an opportunity to improve business performance but can also motivate staff, improve their commitment and more importantly, retain them in the organisation.

Research can generate ideas for new products and services and we can provide the interface to help transform that research into innovation by working in partnership with employers to explore research and development opportunities.

Whatever your business needs, we can help you develop the skills and expertise to build practical solutions to current challenges.  If you would like more information on higher level skills development opportunities, please contact Jeanette MacNaught, the University’s Employer Engagement Manager for the Scarborough Campus.
