On a monthly basis, we offer ‘food for thought' and share a few words of wisdom surrounding training and development. This month, we are sharing information about the new Opportunity Sheffield project.
Opportunity Sheffield is a new free service aimed at providing impartial help and support to employers. We aim to help employers navigate and access the wealth of services and opportunities available to them.
Our sector specialist advisors tailor services to each individual employer thorough one point of contact. They can lend their wealth of industry expertise coupled with knowledge of public and government initiatives to add value to your organisation. Opportunity Sheffield aims to help employers develop their workforce, retain staff, and make them an "employer of choice"
This service is available and no cost to the employer. You'll deal with a designated Account Manager who will identify your needs and help you get the right information and advice including:
- Recruitment solutions
- Redundancy support
- Access to training for your staff
- One point of contact to a range of business support services
- Ongoing mentoring and support for newly recruited employees
- Provide access to a bigger pool of applicants and free advertising
- Find you the right person for the job, help with short-listing and interviewing
- A tailored package of advice to assist you to manage and adapt to any needs that your staff may have and help you:
- Reduce absenteeism
- Increase productivity and revenue
- Keep you up-to-date on constantly changing legislation
To get in touch or find out how we can help, contact Sophie Taylor on 0114 2635667 or email Sophie.taylor@thesourceacademy.co.uk. The Opportunity Sheffield scheme is supported financially by Yorkshire Forward and the European Union and delivered through Sheffield City Council and its Partners.
