Support in the Workplace

Through our Support in the Workplace initiatives, we can help local organisations develop their workforce through tailored training, apprenticeships, and meaningful employer partnerships. We work with national companies too, providing apprenticeships and work-based training across multiple disciplines.

The support we provide to employers is vast and varied. There are many benefits to arranging work-based training for your staff – offering flexibility around the job, filling skills gaps and even gaining access to government funding to support training costs. We can discuss options with you. Our team can support you if you are considering any of the following:

Apprenticeship Training

We can advise on which Apprenticeship programmes align with your training and roles. We can also guide you through the process of setting up adverts and funding on the government’s ‘Digital Apprenticeship Service’, discuss your eligibility for funding, and agree training options for your new employees.

We work with hundreds of employers each year, so are highly experienced in supporting your needs.

Training Needs for Your Organisation

With access to a wealth of teachers and trainers, we can run bespoke sessions to suit your employee training needs. This might include statutory compliance training which will be required by law for your employees to undertake. Or there may be useful upskilling or even supporting staff wellbeing we can work with you on.

Be Part of an Employer Advisory Group

To ensure we are reflecting local employer needs in our curriculum, we work with employers to take on their advice and suggestions about how we ensure we are embedding the right skills and learning into the lessons we teach. This is vital to prepare our students for real work environments on leaving us, and make them highly desirable and suited to the local employment landscape.

Call Employer Services on 01737 788316 or email employerservices@esc.ac.uk if you’d like to get involved.

Work Experience Opportunities

If you can offer work experience placements for our students – a great way of engaging with a future talent pipeline, then talk to our Careers team who can find students for you.
