Employment & Skills
Whether you are planning a new business, or planning to grow your business, ensuring you have the right skills in place to make your business successful is an important consideration.
You may be a first-class engineer, but unless you can sell your product, your business could fail. Likewise, you could be a wizard financier, but unless the people you employ are well managed, your business could collapse. Running a successful business means being able to access many skills. As your business grows, the range and complexity of skills your business needs will grow too.
If you decide that you do not have all of the right skills for your business to succeed or grow then you will need to consider how to fill that gap. You may wish to recruit someone to a full or part time contract or you could decide that a freelance worker, consultant or a temporary worker may provide the solution. You may want to consider taking on an Apprentice.
This section of the website provides an overview of the core skills required to run and grow a business and what to do if you wish to employ someone for the first time.
We have also added other information that we believe employers would find useful.
