This website is just one of the initiatives developed as part of the Slough Skills Campaign. Its key objective is to provide Slough employers with information about skills and training opportunities locally and nationally.

By bringing this information together in a single site we aim to save you time and money and remove some of the strain of finding training providers.

The Slough Skills Website also provides information about the business benefits to be gained from staff development and identifies support agencies that can help identify training and development needs.

In tough economic times such as these, it's never been more important to invest in your employees skills. According to a recent survey 77 percent of company directors believe it is important to invest in staff training in the current climate.

They recognise staff development can greatly improve productivity and quality of work whilst decreasing staff turnover and absenteeism. Critically, having a talented workforce gives your organisation that all important competitive edge.

On this site you will find:

• Information about the Slough Skills Campaign
• Research reports which clarify the need for improved skills within your workforce
• Case studies showing how training has benefitted both individuals and Employees
• Information on the advice and funding available to organisations and individuals
• A Provider Portal to help you find training and development providers who can meet your needs
