• Competitive edge – The team has up-to-date cutting and colouring techniques and the business has happy clients who keep coming back.
• Increased motivation – Training has given the employees greater motivation and enthusiasm
• Empowering the team – New skills have brought confidence and innovation to the service it provides to customers.

Jane is planning for the future and is looking to the College for further support to develop the team’s management skills.

Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh NHS
Foundation Trust is a major acute trust serving the people of Wigan & Leigh. In 2008 the Trust signed the Government’s Skills Pledge to actively encourage and support all staff to achieve a level 2 qualification by 2015. The Trust required a blend of training that would best meet the diverse needs of staff and the Trust.

The Results
• Achieving Level 2 – Over 300 employees achieved their first Level 2 qualification and many more are currently undertaking awards.
• Improved motivation – Many of the qualified staff encouraged and motivated colleagues to engage in training.
• Positive feedback – Managers are really noticing the difference in staff confidence and several staff have been promoted as a result of their achievements.
