Learning and Development

As you’d expect from an organisation that exists to develop the skills of England’s workforce, we actively encourage our people to develop their potential too.

We have a variety of development events to offer, including a thorough induction to the organisation, improving your professional skills, management and leadership development, e-learning, coaching and mentoring opportunities and developing your expertise. All the development is tailored to meet your individual requirements. An e-brochure, listing the full choice, is available to all our staff and updated regularly. We also have excellent e-learning facilities, which you can access at the times and places that best suit you, and a state-of-the art Knowledge Centre at our National Office providing a rich source of reference material.

Learning and development is key to our employee performance management system. From the day you join us, you’ll have a personal development plan clearly linked to your performance objectives. By taking an active part in your own development and regularly discussing your performance with your manager, you’ll always know how well you’re doing and where you need to improve.

The size of our organisation and scope of its activities mean there are excellent opportunities for career progression. We are committed to promoting from within and always advertise opportunities internally, so you couldn’t be in a better position to move up with us.
