Business growth: Upskill your staff with a range of career-enhancing courses at Kirklees College
If you strive to be an employer with a motivated, productive and engaged workforce, investing in staff training is a great way to develop and refresh your workforce whilst attracting and retaining the best talent for your business.
Starting after Easter and more in September 2026, Kirklees College will offer an extended range of courses designed to upskill staff in various areas, helping your business grow.
If you have staff looking to achieve a new qualification or upskill in their current role, there is no better place to start than Kirklees College.
Dawn Turner, Business Development Manager at Kirklees College, said: “Research indicates that high-quality continuous professional development is a critical factor in staff retention, with younger employees in particular valuing this as a key factor for staying at their current job.”
One of the best examples of this has been the college’s ongoing partnership with Myton Food Group.
Current staff at Myton Food Group have been undertaking upskilling courses with the college and are benefiting from the facilities and expert tutoring available at the Kirklees College Process Manufacturing Centre.
