p6 There's a mixture of push and pull factors at play in why employers provide training
(image sourced from pdf)
p7 There's a substantial effect of employer size on provision of structured training: Small businesses (<20 employees) 38.5% vs large businesses (>100) 97.5%
p 11 reasons for not using nationally recognised training include dissatisfaction with the content and/or the providers.
What this means for us?
Potential for working with smaller enterprises on provision of structured training, this will raise questions of economy of scale I imagine.
Looking further at the internal/ external and push/pull factors may provide some insights into approaches we could use.
