Free Training and compensation for time spent training!
Take part in this 'win - win' training scheme

• If you're a manufacturing company in Greater Manchester or South Yorkshire, we can offer all of this for your electronics production staff:
  
  
  • Free training and course assessment
  • Up to 150% of wages paid to cover the time spent training
  • e-learning for training anywhere, any time and at any pace

• The Employer Training Pilot is a great opportunity for employers in Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire to train and develop their staff, removing the practical barriers of cost and inconvenience.
  
  
• In partnership with the Learning and Skills Council, Virtual College has already provided 4 companies participating in the pilot scheme, with a successful electronics manufacturing training programme involving over 60 employees.

• Stephen Hudson of Innovative Technology, Oldham, commented:
  
  "We wanted to bring staff up to a high level of excellence, but it is a massive task. Then I heard about the Employer Training Pilot and I thought, what's the catch? But I have to admit there isn't one and it's been fantastic from start to finish.
  
  The crucial issues when we think about training are time and money, but this doesn't cost us anything. We have also been able to structure training so that it doesn't affect production."
