The biggest cost to a business is usually staffing and it is imperative for business success to find ways of increasing competence. Adult learning is one of the tools you can use to help develop your staff and maintain their effectiveness. Addressing skills gaps is a key part of the government’s agenda and at NIACE we can provide a variety of services and resources to help you meet this challenge.

Employability skills within workplace learning Employability skills are vital to enable employees to effectively undertake their work, progress within work and transfer between different types of work. They include a wide variety of non-vocational skills such as communication skills, team working skills and problem solving skills.

NIACE works with policy makers, employers and training providers to develop helpful ways of enabling employees to acquire the employability skills they need.

Most
adults say that their workplace is the best place for them to learn. They
respond to opportunities to help them do their jobs better, whether that
training is learned on the job or through formal courses. It is a familiar and
comfortable place for them to learn. Adult learners are also more motivated
workers if they feel that they are being invested in with learning opportunities
or skills training.
