Helping us to support new talent entering our industry
The Skills England Bill is an exciting development that has been welcomed by many industries, including those CIC works with, such as hospitality, education, golf, and retail, which are all crucial to the UK economy.
Investing in these areas to bring in new talent while reshaping the skills landscape for existing workforces is vital. This approach will not only fill the current skills gap felt by many of the industries we work with but will also prepare the future workforce for the challenges of tomorrow.
With over 25 years in business, upskilling and investing in talent are woven into the fabric of our business. Our commitment to “growing our own” talent not only supports the national skills agenda but also ensures that we continuously refine the expertise within our workforce.
At CIC we have always provided opportunities for work experience students and apprentices, many of whom have gone on to become integral members of our team.
As an SME we have been able to adopt an approach to learning which enables young people to explore different roles across various departments. This exposure allows them to find their niche, ultimately contributing to their personal and professional growth.
The Skills England Bill resonates with us because it aligns with our long-standing commitment to nurturing talent. It emphasises the importance of offering opportunities that can bridge the gap between education and industry, fostering a skilled workforce prepared to tackle real-world challenges.
The many sectors we work with, and our network of trusted contractors rely heavily on skilled personnel, so this bill represents a chance to redefine the workforce framework, while helping them invest in young talent and upskilling programs, to remain competitive and innovative.
The hospitality industry, in particular, stands to gain significantly from this bill. With its dynamic nature and customer-centric focus, having a workforce that is well-trained, adaptable, and knowledgeable is crucial. Investing in young talent ensures that the industry remains vibrant and continues to offer exceptional service.
