To keep your employees motivated and productive, you will likely invest in training, and there are lots of different ways you can keep your employees learning and developing their skills.
On the Hob
One employee can instruct another in a new skill or supervise them in undertaking a project in a new area. This tends to be the way that skilled workers such as an Electrician Essex way will train apprentices and new staff members. The success can depend on the quality of the trainer, and when someone is regularly training new starters or members of their team they should be trained in how to train and coach to get the best out of them.
Off the Job
A trainee will have to take time away from their day-to-day work to attend a course, seminar or lecture which teaches them something new. Conference attendance is another sort of the off-the-job training that many employers will invest in for their team members.
Online
Online training courses can be a great way to grow your businesses skills because employees can fit online training modules into their working pattern. They can complete the training when they feel most comfortable.
Apprenticeships
A combination of gaining practical knowledge working on the job and learning theory in a classroom, apprenticeships are something that most employers are required to invest in. An apprenticeship can last four or five years and be completed while working when the employer gives consent for their employees to take time out of their regular work to study.
Internships
Sometimes confused with apprenticeships, internships can allow students to get practical on-the-job training while they study the theory in a classroom. This is a formal arrangement between a study institution such as a college or university and a business.
You can get career skills and training information, including courses and qualifications, from Gov.uk.
Training Centres
Instructors can give training on new equipment and special processes on machines in training centres, where a worker can learn how to use them without the pressure of everyday work happening around them.
A combination of some of these six training methods can mean you have a rich and personalised employee training and development programme which adds value to your business in the long term.
