Vocational qualifications can help you develop the skills and knowledge your business needs.
Benefits of vocational qualifications
Vocational qualifications bring real advantages to employers
including:
- Meet
specific employer needs - vocational training is designed, often
with employer input, to meet the specific needs of employers and specific
job sectors.
- Better
employee knowledge - practical learning gives employees better
hands-on understanding of particular roles and tasks.
- More
confident staff - employees are more confident in their job role.
- Flexibility -
training is flexible to fit around the business needs.
- Competitive
edge - having staff fully qualified for particular job roles may
give your business a competitive advantage eg when tendering for
contracts.
- Increased
productivity - employees are likely to be happier in their job
roles, more productive and motivated to reach their potential. This in
turn can improve staff retention rates.
- Profitability -
increased profitability with more competent and able staff.
- Skills
matching - qualifications are easy to understand and employers
can compare skills leading to career progression pathways.
- Staff
development and progression - easier and more effective staff
development and clearer career progression.
- Nationally
recognised qualifications - many vocational qualifications have
been designed in collaboration with industry so you can equip your
employees with the specific skills and knowledge your business requires.
The qualifications that your employees gain can provide a
helpful guide to their skill levels. All new vocational
qualifications meet national standards, so they can also indicate how
well-trained your staff are compared with other businesses in your sector or
region.
Having a well-trained workforce can be of great value to your business. Vocational qualifications can help show you whether training targets are being met, and help you assess the skills development of individual workers. In turn, achieving vocational qualifications can offer a benchmark for setting reward levels - as a better-trained employee is likely to help improve the profitability of the business.
