Working with Individuals
With an increasing emphasis on in-employment training and new ways of making this possible, employers and employees can simultaneously experience the benefits of ongoing skill development and continual learning, both now and in the years to come. Developing skills is an ongoing process, regardless of the starting position, and of value to all individuals.
“Skilled individuals have more options and climb higher” 1
Skills are intrinsically linked to productivity, and the ability to change and adapt. Skilled individuals are more likely to perform better in their current position; and, have more resources to draw upon throughout their career.
Qualifications demonstrate these abilities and help to assess progress. They provide a tangible and recognised goal for employees to work towards, as well as increasing workplace motivation and commitment in the process.
