Redundancy training options

Many employers do not realise that employees facing redundancy may be entitled to a reasonable amount of time off to look for another job and organise training for themselves.  The DTI states: "An employee who is given notice of dismissal because of redundancy is entitled to reasonable time off with pay during working hours to look for another job or make arrangements for training for future employment. The time off must be allowed during the period of notice."

We have worked with a number of local companies to develop training courses to re-train staff so that they can find another position as quickly as possible.  Recent examples include a student whose Executive PA Diploma course was paid by her employer and she subsequently found a new job before completing it.

Similarly, we have helped people who have been made redundant to learn new skills or refresh old ones to maximise their chances of employment.  There are a number of advantages to this including:

  • It adds ‘another string to your bow’. The more skills you possess the greater your value to potential employers.
  • It enhances your CV. Qualifications always look good on a CV so if you can turn a skill you already possess into a quantified qualification then you will increase the impressiveness of your CV.
  • Independent learning demonstrates to an employer that you are committed to your own development and are prepared to do this in your own time.
  • It proves that you are a motivated and positive individual.

Pitman Training Guildford offers over 140 different courses including Microsoft skills Diploma, Touch Typing, Bookkeeping and Web design.  Any of these courses could help someone to make a fresh career start and minimise their time without work.  Remember, unlike a conventional college our training can start immediately so there is no need to wait weeks or even months to start re-training.
