Description: Workforce Development
As a general Further Education College, Waltham Forest can provide training in a wide range of vocational areas to meet the needs of public and private sector organisations
Part of the shared national agenda is to improve skills, raise standards and increase productivity, efficiency and competitiveness by providing the training and qualifications that employers and their workforce require
We have positioned ourselves to be able to identify and offer a range of propositions to meet the needs of employers that can be delivered at one of our centres or more importantly, in the workplace.
Training Needs Analysis
As part of a government initiative we will visit employers and carry out a training needs analysis
This examines the organisational aims and objectives against the existing capabilities of the workforce
This demand-led approach gives a much greater prominence to the needs of employers and individuals who are funding and planning their further education and skills training. In this way employers are more in control of the manner in which learning is delivered and employees feel their prospects are improved as a result of undertaking a course organised by their company on site
