British firms that want their employees to learn new skills by taking electrician training courses could find that the government's Train to Gain scheme is beneficial.
The initiative is a national skills service and aims to promote the value that training and education can bring to the UK workforce.
And in a recent survey of those that have used the scheme, 80 per cent of respondents revealed that they would recommend it to other employers.
In addition, 41 per cent stated that the initiative has helped them cope with the effects of the recession.
Skills minister Kevin Brennan commented that the scheme is essential for individuals wanting to "fulfill their potential"
"These reports show that businesses value the change to offer staff high quality training, that they otherwise may not have been able to, through Train to Gain," he added.
It could be that the news highlights the importance of electrical training courses to those hoping to improve their skills and increases the take-up of such programmes.
