Employers

Find out more below about how the Employment and Training Hub can support you as an employer.

The Hub can help you to:

  • Find new employees through a talent matching service. Tell us your recruitment needs and we will find and introduce you to candidates suitable for the role and support you with shortlisting and interviewing. You can create your own account on our website to advertise your vacancies for free.
  • Access to bespoke training. We can work with you to develop and host a bespoke training package tailored to meet the needs of your business, including Sector Based Work Academies to meet requirements for a range of sectors.
  • Access support to hire a new apprentice. We can talk you through the process of taking on your first apprentice or additional apprentices, help you find a suitable candidate and access funding.
  • Help to identify skills gaps within your business. You could access funded support to help pin-point your business’s skills needs, navigate your options, and access further training, or support needed to grow.
  • Get support to up-skill existing staff. We can help you build a stronger workforce by helping employees gain skills that match your business needs.
  • A virtual offer, through a website and social media channels to engage, promote and signpost
  • Access support for employees who are at risk of or facing redundancy. Refer staff to the Employment Hub where we can support them in finding alternative employment.
  • Access to space. We have flexible spaces available to accommodate all your training and recruitment needs, ranging from 1-1 interview rooms to venues for recruitment fairs.
  • To volunteer as a mentor for people looking for practical careers advice or looking to start their own business.
