Train to Gain

Improve productivity - Increase performance - Gain a competitive edge

Train to Gain is the national skills service that supports employers of all sizes, in all sectors to improve the skills of employees and business performance.

Wigan & Leigh College are in their third successful year of delivering work-based National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) to businesses through the Train to Gain Programme.

The College is one of the largest providers of Train to Gain in the North-West, providing support to over 3,000 employees each year.

Benefits to your business

Your employees will learn practical, work-related tasks and gain new skills and knowledge needed to gain a nationally recognised qualification. Our dedicated Business Development Team can work with you to:

• identify skills gaps
• provide quality training programmes
• improve productivity
• increase performance
• gain a competitive edge.

No cost to you

Programmes are delivered in the work place and in most cases at no cost to you, helping your training budget go further. Once the benefits of training are realised many employees come back to progress onto a higher level programme.

Julian Dean, Training Manager at JJB said, “Without a doubt I would recommend Train to Gain to other employers.

It has meant that we have been able to support a major culture change within the organisation.

"We hope to take this further following a very successful experience of Train to Gain through Wigan & Leigh College."
