Sustainability upskilling: Access funded workshops to help transform your business
As ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) issues move further up the agenda, businesses are increasingly being asked to demonstrate their sustainability credentials. That might be to comply with reporting requirements, to retain their preferred supplier status or meet consumer expectations. Yet whatever their intentions, many lack the skills and know-how they need to get started. As part of our comprehensive training portfolio, Wylde Connections has developed a series of funded sustainability workshops to support you on your journey as an ethical and responsible business.
Businesses are well aware of how hard it is to bridge the skills gap in a competitive recruitment market. The sustainability arena is no different. Accessing the right expertise is a major barrier to embedding best practice. Taking the “grow your own” approach will allow you to supercharge your team with the understanding and practical skills needed to meet your goals.
At Wylde Connections we understand the role workforce training and development plays in helping businesses fulfil their potential. Our team of expert consultants and trainers have developed a range of training offers to ensure you have the capabilities to maximise the benefits of sustainable practice.
To add to the business case, we also offer access to funding to support sustainability upskilling. With initiatives like the Skills Escalator Fund and Future Focus Skills Programme, Warwickshire SMEs can apply for grants for training and salary support.
SMEs in Warwickshire can apply for up to £750 per person for training, covering
up to 5 employees per business. The fund allows businesses to tailor training to meet their specific needs, supported by business skills advisors.
This programme supports businesses in developing future-focused skills for sustainability and digital transformation. Funding includes up to £2,000 for salary support when hiring apprentices in emerging technologies and sustainability roles.
