APPRENTICESHIPS in East Sussex will be given a boost this week as East Sussex County Council is reminding small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) about the support available to assist with their organisation’s skills and training needs. The Transform Skills Toolkit provides a step-by-step guide for businesses thinking of taking on an apprentice or investing in other skills training. The online resource from the county council’s Transform programme has been developed by delivery partner, Sussex Council of Training Providers (SCTP), to help SMEs understand what opportunities are available and how to access them. The toolkit looks at the benefits and opportunities of investing in skills development and highlights key workforce planning questions businesses may want to consider, as well as listing support agencies and websites that can provide further information and advice.
