Welcome to ESF London Central Get On at Work

Skills for Life are Skills for Business

Improve your bottom line by taking part in an ESF / LSC London Central project which aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises in identifying the training needs of their organisation and staff. Skills for Life is about addressing the training needs of your employees at the many different levels at which they affect your business. These include:

• over-ordering of stock and materials
• ensuring good customer service
• using time effectively.

For specific case studies related to your industry, have a look at this pack; there is a supporting folder available for the pack. 

Take part in the discussion around issues related to your business by visiting our discussion forum. Individual questions for your Sector Skills Council and other SMEs can be posted. The discussion forum has been divided into sector skills subsections.

The project would like input from small and medium-sized businesses about the specific challenges they face. For example, some issues may be London issues, some to do with the sector, and still others around training issues. We would like to hear about your models of good practice that encourage staff to take up free training. We are holding specific consultation events for your sector, so if you would like to participate in an event, please send an e-mail to the address below.

Do you want to know more about the training needs of your employees?  The project is able to offer:

• free Training Needs Analysis for SMEs
• free Initial Assessments for employees
• signposting for free Skills for Life training.
