Offering bespoke, flexible and relevant training for employers across the UK, Solihull College’s Employers Service has earned its place as one of the West Midland’s leading employee training providers. The service is currently providing a range of specialised programmes for employers across Birmingham, Coventry, Walsall, Warwickshire and Wolverhampton.

We can help improve your competitive advantage and business performance.

Are you giving your employees the skills they need to take your organisation forward?

To find out, answer these questions:

1. Do you provide new staff with the right training to make them productive?
2. Are your managers fully equipped with the skills they need for leadership?
3. Do the abilities of your staff compare well with those of others in the same field?
4. Are you sure that none of your people are being underutilised?
5. Has your organisation lost opportunities because it lacked the skills to follow them up?
6. Have you analysed the skills in your organisation to identify any shortfalls?
7. Do you know your way around the maze of publicly funded courses, qualifications and funding entitlements?

Unless you can answer YES every time, you need to take action. Whether your staff are newly recruited or experienced, school leavers or mature employees, office based or out and about, it’s their skills that will give you the edge that your organisation needs.

We’re in the skills business. See how our training helped give businesses in Birmingham and the West Midlands the edge.
