Upskill Your Team
Developing the skills of your existing workforce is one of the most effective ways to improve performance, retention, and long-term capability.
SIGTA works with employers to upskill teams through practical, workplace-based training that supports real job roles and day-to-day responsibilities. Our approach is flexible and employer-led, allowing training to fit around your business while delivering measurable benefit.
Why upskill your team
- Improve competence, confidence, and productivity
- Retain staff by supporting development and progression
- Prepare employees for greater responsibility or new roles
- Maintain skills, standards, and safe working practices
Structured training helps employers get more from the people they already employ, while demonstrating a clear commitment to development.
Training designed around your workforce
Upskilling can take many forms, depending on the needs of your business and your staff. This may include apprenticeships for existing employees, NVQs and competence-based qualifications, or targeted training courses to strengthen specific skills.
SIGTA works with employers to identify the most appropriate training route, ensuring development is relevant, proportionate, and aligned with operational requirements.
Supporting development in the workplace
All training delivered by SIGTA is designed to work alongside normal job roles. Learning is delivered in the workplace or at SIGTA's premises and is vocationally relevant, helping employees build skills through real tasks and responsibilities.
For Apprenticeships and NVQs, employers and individuals receive ongoing support throughout the programme, including regular contact with a SIGTA training officer and structured progress reviews to support learning and development.
Why work with SIGTA
SIGTA is an employer-led, not-for-profit Group Training Association delivering practical, real-world training across a wide range of sectors.
We work in partnership with employers to provide clear, supportive training that improves capability and supports long-term workforce development, reinvesting into services that benefit employers and learners alike.
Training & Development Review
SIGTA’s Training & Development Review is an annual, face-to-face discussion with senior management or HR, designed to help employers understand current workforce capability and future training needs.
The review explores skills gaps, succession planning and opportunities to upskill existing employees. It also provides guidance on how apprenticeships, training solutions and available government funding can be used to support business objectives.
Following the review, SIGTA can support employers with apprentice recruitment, bespoke training solutions and practical advice to help manage workforce development effectively.
This service is included as part of SIGTA membership. Non-members please get in contact to discuss your requirements.
