Your team are never too old to learn

News in the national press is full of doom and gloom about cutbacks in Government funding for adult learners - but, hurrah, help is nearby.

Bedford College is here to serve employers in Bedfordshire and make sure that they can call upon a workforce with the right skills to help their business flourish. That means helping companies to access whatever training they need to keep employees up to speed with today’s changing demands.

The Business Development Team at Bedford College works closely with employers each and every day - photographed here is Gina Bubbins and team at a special Adult Learners event at Argos/DHL.

Taking training into the workplace is a service which has been offered by Bedford College for nearly a decade - we know you are often unable to free staff from their day jobs to join us on our college campus. We work closely with employers and unions to encourage a positive approach to training among your employers - in their own place of work.

Taking a broader view, Bedford College concentrates on helping those who who have yet to find employment get themselves ready for the workplace. This can include teaching English as a Second Language classes for newcomers to the UK. English Language Teaching is a key training skill offered at Bedford College to those who are seeking employment by Karike de Klerk and team. If you have staff who need assistance with English then please just ask the Business Development Team on 01234 291747 or email training@bedford.ac.uk.
