Tags: david, directory, Industry Chat, job, Love, productivity, result, searches, swinney David Cameron will pay for your recruitment trainingIn the last three months I have worked with two recruitment clients who have had their in-house training with me paid via government funding, and the client whom I worked with last week, was not only getting my in-house training for his consultants paid for, but also the DVD recruitment training programmes from Recruitment Juice. His Directors had also received fantastic management coaching six months before by accessing a Leadership & Management grant. I understand that for small and medium size recruitment companies it can be hard to find the time and finance required for training, but if you are prepared to invest a little time and effort then you will find that funding and business support is available to most recruitment companies. It can be dependent on circumstances and is assessed on a regional and case-by-case basis – but it is out there! I firmly believe that good quality training is essential if recruitment businesses are to prosper and grow – whatever the economic circumstances, and David Cameron’s government via such initiatives as ‘Train to Gain’ is prepared to help you invest in the skills that are vital to help your recruitment business grow. However these are initiatives that were started under Gordon Brown’s leadership and so I would urge you to start your investigations into funding programmes soon as the eligibility rules and criteria could change very quickly. There are different methods to access the funds available from a variety of sources but below are the main contact details of the bodies able to help you. LSC (Learning and Skills Council) 0870 900 6800 Train to Gain (government initiative) 0845 600 9006 Learn Direct 0800 101 901 Business Link 0845 600 9006 Many of the funding and support bodies work together, but by speaking to as many people as possible will give you the best understanding of what is available out there for recruitment companies. Both the recruitment clients I worked with recently received their funding via Train to Gain and so I have detailed below some in-depth information about them and what exactly they can offer you. However they, along with Learn Direct and Business Link will be able to provide funding for training in other areas you may need and don’t forget they also offer often vital business support. Train to Gain Train to Gain is a service designed to help businesses of all types and sizes get the training they need to succeed. Managed by the Learning and Skills Council across England, Train to Gain uses experienced ‘Skills Brokers’ who will work closely with you to: Identify the skills your recruitment business needs Pinpoint the right training Agree a tailored training package for your recruitment team Find available funding for your recruitment company Review progress They help recruitment businesses of all sizes, in all sectors, to increase the skills of their workforce and improve the performance of their business. The service aims to encourage all employers and individuals to value and understand the benefits that learning and skills can bring, and to invest appropriately. They work with the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills, the Learning and Skills Council and Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) to support you as you gain the skills that matter in your business sector. If you run a small or medium sized recruitment business, their new package of support can help you prosper during tougher economic times. What types of training can I access through Train to Gain? From National Vocational Qualifications to bespoke on-site recruitment specific training, they’ll help you find the right skills solutions to meet your needs. Your adviser will consider the whole spectrum of available training, and tailor their recommendations to your recruitment business.

The service is supported by Business Link Advisers who are qualified to offer quality-assured, impartial and independent advice to help you identify skills needs at all levels of your recruitment business and source high quality, vocational skills training. Priority support for small and medium sized businesses If you run a small or medium sized recruitment business, they offer alternative packages of support to make it easier for you to carry on developing the skills of your recruiters and other employees, particularly when it’s most important during tougher economic times. You can access smaller, focused training programmes in subjects important to your business, including: business improvement team working and communications sales and marketing customer service new product design cash flow and profit management. If your recruitment business has less than 50 employees you may be able to get a contribution to wage costs to cover the cost of time off to train. To find out more, contact your independent business broker at Business Link. How to access Train to Gain? It’s easy to access the wide range of support available through Train to Gain: contact an independent Business Link Adviser on 0845 600 9006 fill in their online contact form at www.traintogain.gov.uk or, for general business support and advice, call Business Link on 0845 600 9006 Leadership & Management Funding within Train to Gain The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) through Regional Skills Brokers (such as Train to Gain and Business Link) are offering a maximum of £1,000 funding for leadership and management training to those who have strategic responsibilities for their business such as Directors and Senior Managers. Previous recruitment customers of mine have used this funding to purchase the Recruitment Juice DVD programmes. The Leadership and Management offer is part of a broader package of support available through Train to Gain. Support is aimed at working with recruitment organisations that have not had the resources to date to think strategically about their organisational development. By providing a specific package tailored towards leadership and management, the LSC hopes to provide recruitment companies with the skills they need to consider broader workforce development issues at a strategic level. If other workforce development needs are required at management or supervisory level, it is expected that these will be discussed as part of a broader Train to Gain Organisational Needs Assessment (ONA) with a skills broker. What is the Leadership & Management Funding offer? Money is available to any recruitment company with between 5 and 249 staff (paid or unpaid) to support leadership and management training and development. Who is eligible for this funding? To be eligible for this funding you must: Have between five and 249 employees (paid or unpaid) Have not had any funded management training from external bodies in the last 12 months Have an recruitment office address in England The process is straightforward: A Leadership and Management specialist adviser must diagnose the skills need (through a process called a ‘skills diagnostic’) and write a personal development plan (PDP) with the leader/manager which identifies the training and development needed. Funding is available on the basis of the PDP. How much money is available? Up to £1,000 of grant support is available: the first £500 does not require match funding but must benefit the one person identified as the key leader/manager within your recruitment company. The remaining £500 grant must be match funded in cash by the employer and can be used to support the same leader/manager or one or more other managers (depending on the organisational needs). How can the money be used? The funding can be used to support any skills development activity identified through the skills diagnostic and evidenced within the PDP. This means that the money can be used to support qualification or non-qualification based activity, depending on the individual’s needs. Can you go on any course/ get any training you want to? Yes. That is, providing it meets the skills needs of the individual concerned and is documented within the PDP. The Leadership and Management specialist adviser will work with the individual concerned to identify their skills needs and appropriate skills solutions. When do you receive the money? Train to Gain don’t fund the organisation directly – the money will be paid upon receipt of an invoice from the training provider for the training/developmental opportunity undertaken. Will Train to Gain also talk to us about other staff training and development? Yes. Once the development activity has taken place, the specialist adviser will carry out a review to support the implementation of the new skills within your recruitment company. In addition, a skills broker will undertake a follow-up to discuss further workforce development issues. How to find out more? Contact Train to Gain – 0800 015 55 45 or www.traintogain.gov.uk Please note: These programmes and services apply to recruitment companies based in England. Information for the other three home nations is available from: Scotland – Learn Direct Scotland for Business 08456 000 111 Northern Ireland – The Employment Service 0800 328 91 35 Wales – Skills People Success 0845 60 661 60 In summary, everyone knows that training is vital. When asked the question ‘how can I afford to train my recruitment consultants?’ my stock answer is ‘can you afford to fix it if you don’t train your recruitment consultants?’ Pick up the phone to your local contact, get them to come and see you and push to get as much help for you and your business that is available. Invest some time in your application (ask your chosen training provider for help if you need it) and then push for a decision.
