Learning at Work supports employers of all sizes with their training requirements. Research indicates that a typical 50-employee company
could save as much as £165,000 every year by filling the gaps in the skills of its employees. Recognised, accredited training leads to a
more motivated workforce, a reduction in workplace accidents and increased access to skilled workers. It is also highly relevant during
Contract Tendering as it demonstrates a company’s willingness to invest in its staff base and evidences the availability of qualified
employees to carry out the tasks required.
Learning at Work can access government funding that supports the delivery of accredited training in a variety of different areas. This can
ensure you have employees with the skills needed to make your business more efficient and profitable. Contact us today to find out more.

Merton College merges with South Thames. One of the sector’s leading training providers, Merton College, has completed its merger with South
Thames College. The new institution is keeping the name ‘South Thames College’ and the Merton site will remain fully functioning as its Merton
Campus. Aside from the change of name, it is very much ‘business as usual’ with Mary Schramm remaining in charge of the College’s training
provision for the cleaning and facilities industry. The College is a leading training centre for the cleaning and facilities sector with many years
experience delivering NVQ and BICSc courses to businesses of all sizes. It has an enviable reputation, training the UK’s gold medal-winning Cleaning
team at Euroskills 2008 and currently preparing the UK’s competitors for the next Euroskills competition in Lisbon later this year. The College provides
many benefits to employers including access to Train to Gain funding and free BICSc courses as an add-on with some NVQs. Its training can bring
many advantages to employers such as improved health and safety and better client relations as well as enhancing staff performance and development.
