The scheme is marketed by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) as an advice service to employers, using 'skills brokers'. Their role is to help employers identify their training needs and find a suitable training provider. The skills brokers are trained by the LSC and have a proven track record of providing effective advice to businesses.
By working with a skills broker, settings can:
- Identify the skills the business needs
- Pinpoint the right training
- Agree a tailored training package
- Find available funding
- Review progress.
Train to Gain is an alternative to the LSC apprenticeship scheme in that it aims to provide funding to obtain an NVQ without the full apprenticeship framework, which includes a technical certificate and key skills component.
