Research from the Learning and Skills Council shows that two out of three businesses have a budget for training but how many of them use it effectively and how many are making the most of Government driven schemes?

The expansion of Train to Gain, as announced by Government in November 2007, means that businesses of all sizes can access training at even more levels. But what will this mean for businesses in real terms and how can investing in staff boost profits?

Join Jaine Clarke, Director of Skills for Employers at the Learning Skills Council, Robin Clarkson, prevista assistant director of The Skills Brokerage Association and marketing manager Jennifer Allen from the London-based Hardy Group for a web chat here, as they discuss training and how it can benefit your company on a financial level and in other areas of your organisation.
