Free Employer Masterclasses
Employers in the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism industries will have the opportunity to find out first-hand how to benefit from Train to Gain funding, and take part in free, industry-focused masterclasses, as People 1st launches a series of roadshow events across England in November.
One-day events will be held in each region, and will be especially useful for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who have not previously accessed Government funding for training, although all employers are welcome.
Each event will include two free masterclasses, the first of which is Focus on Marketing for Small Businesses. Combining theory with practical examples, this programme will help SME employers to write cost-effective marketing plans and understand the latest trends to capture and retain new customers.
The second is a world class customer service masterclass, developed following a major consultation with industry experts from within the UK and overseas and over 2,000 businesses of all sizes across the UK visitor economy.
Employers will also have the opportunity to meet their local Train to Gain/ skills advisors, and find out how their business can benefit from Government-funded training and other initiatives from People 1st.

| 17 Nov | East Midlands | Derby Conference Centre |
