B-Skill Ltd

B-Skill Limited has been supporting employers to develop their workforce for over 13 years, by listening to employers' needs, providing information, advice and guidance wrapped around a package of high quality training and development services. Delivering high quality provision requires a partnership approach between the provider, the employer and ultimately, the learner. B-Skill is passionate about engaging employers in developing their workforce and raising the aspirations and achievements of all learners.

This, combined with B-Skill's experience of working in the government-funded skills training sector throughout this time, makes B-Skill the perfect partner for employers to work with. B-Skill is proud of its excellent apprenticeship achievement rates in the delivery of its qualification frameworks, presently some 13% above the national average.

Apprenticeships are an increasingly important part of the UK's long term plan for improved workforce development and enhanced productivity. They have the potential to make an even greater impact in the future. Over the next two years the government plans to reform Apprenticeships to the level of the best by making them more rigorous and responsive to the needs of employers. Employers will gain more control over the design of Apprenticeships and their assessment. Employers will be given more direct control over the funding for the external training of their apprentices so they can drive up quality and relevance.

So, now is the time for employers to start thinking about how they can make best use of this reform and this is where B-Skill comes in.
