Business Analysis Session

These sessions are all about thinking outside the box, about identifying opportunities across your entire business, not just where you have an immediate need.

Hotels are often seeking new recruits to beef up their kitchens or expand their customer service teams. In addition to identifying suitable hires, B&FC has helped hospitality businesses to upskill their staff with specific qualifications to boost wider retention and morale.

By putting your staff on to courses you are showing you value their commitment which in turn boost retention by shifting employees' mindset from 'short-term job' to 'long-term career'.

If you're thinking about hiring people to offer a new kind of service, or expand your existing offering, it's also a great idea to be thinking how to promote it.

B&FC has helped businesses hire digital marketing apprentices - or upskill existing staff through an apprenticeship to expertly assume that role - when the original thinking was simply on the service itself.

If you're rapidly expanding in the manufacturing and engineering sectors, you might be seeing some opportunities to improve your productivity.

If you need specialists to expand your operations, who will cope with their team's growing demands? B&FC has worked with organisations which have significantly benefited from warehousing apprenticeships so that the business is staffed throughout its operations to optimise efficiency and manage changing requirements.

But every situation is different. To talk about yours, and take advantage of our free training needs analysis, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Recruitment Support

We'll help you analyse exactly what skills your business needs both now and in the future, then bring together a group of local people who are currently looking for work in your sector. We'll then train them on one of our sector-based work academy programmes (SWAPs) to ensure they have the skills your business needs which you can then test on a work placement.

You want to recruit a workforce with the right skills to sustain and grow your business.

SWAP is designed to help meet your immediate and future recruitment needs. Your SWAP lasts up to six weeks and includes:

• Pre-employment training
  Relevant to the needs of the business and sector
• Work experience placement
  This greatly benefits both the individual and the business
• Guaranteed job interview

We will design a SWAP tailored to your business' needs.

Some of the industry sectors in which we have particular expertise are; Leisure & Hospitality, Administration, Health & Social Care, School & Nurseries, Construction, Automotive, Digital, Green Energy.
