Skills Pledge
The Skills Pledge is an organisation's voluntary public commitment to training its staff - in their own time and in their own way
The minimum commitment that employers should make is to:
- Actively encourage and support employees to gain the skills and qualifications that will meet the needs of the business and will support their future employability
- Further support employees to acquire basic literacy and numeracy skills and work towards their first full Level 2 qualification
- Demonstrably raise employees' skills and competencies to improve their organisational performance through investing in economically valuable training and development
Many companies and organisations choose to use the Skills Pledge as a starting point, going on to help employees gain wider skills and additional, higher-level qualifications.
