Build a robust foundation of digital skills and software knowledge across your business
In today's digital age, businesses must stay ahead of the curve to remain competitive. By equipping employees with the latest digital skills and tools, organisations can adapt more readily to technological advancements, innovate faster, and stay ahead of competitors.
Whilst courses provide a brilliant method of training in digital skills, at times the content may not meet a more complex or individualistic need. This is where a more flexible and adaptable range of solutions are needed. Our advisory and consultancy services offer just that. Our team of specialist consultants will work with you to scope the project based on your individual requirements, enabling you to get the return on investment you need.
Benefits of a Tailored Approach
• Maximised Engagement: Customised training speaks directly to the concerns and interests of your workforce, leading to higher levels of engagement and participation. When employees see the direct relevance of the training to their daily tasks, they are more motivated to actively participate and apply their newfound knowledge.
• Efficiency: Bespoke training focuses solely on the areas where improvement is needed, eliminating time wasted on irrelevant topics. This targeted approach allows for more efficient use of employees' time and resources, leading to quicker skill acquisition and implementation.
• Flexibility: Personalised training solutions offer flexibility in terms of content, delivery methods, and scheduling. Businesses can choose the format and timing that best suit their operational requirements, ensuring minimal disruption to workflows while maximising training effectiveness.
• Measurable Results: With a tailored training solution, it's easier to track and measure the impact on key performance indicators relevant to your business objectives. This enables organisations to demonstrate a clear return on investment and make data-driven decisions regarding future training needs.
PETA’s Bespoke IT Training Solutions
Digital Skills Coaching Sessions
Creating a workforce of digitally adept users is essential to meeting the demands of business, particularly in an environment where many people are self-taught in Microsoft Office applications.
Our solution is to offer Digital Skills Coaching; a highly flexible and customised service that caters to the specific skills development needs of your employees.
How it works
- You book a full day of our IT trainer’s time to come to your site
- Time slots of 60 minutes enable up to 6 people to book an individual session of support
- Your employees book their time slot
- The IT trainer will work with the individual(s) in their session to coach them in using applications effectively.
The result is a quick solution to increasing IT skills, where knowledge can immediately be applied within their role.
Example:
Problem: An individual is struggling with spreadsheets that require information housed in several differing cells to be calculated. They know the basics of formulas but are struggling with more complex calculations and are not sure how to do things. Ultimately, they resort to manual calculations!
Solution: A 60-minute session explaining formulas and functions related to the specific problem they are trying to solve resulting in time saved and increased accuracy in the data.
Benefits
- This is an agile service delivered at your facility at a time and date that best suits you.
- It minimises time spent on longer courses and focuses on specific areas where individuals need to fine tune their skills.
