How we help our members

This week I have been visiting a number of our members and helping them access the Women in Work training scheme (£400 funded out of £650 training per person). We have accessed potentially £6000 for our members this week. Not all that training will be supplied by CATraining Ltd. We just do not have a breadth of access to cover everything - and when that is the case we will say and try and point people in the right direction.

We are also asked why, if we are not getting the business are we putting effort into this project. To confirm, we do not get any commission or referral fees. The reason we do it is quite simple we are historically the organisation that landbased industries in the area should come to about their training needs. We hope that by charging a nominal membership fee we can cover the cost of researching identifying and helping our member customers on an impartial basis.

To follow on from that we are trying to see what benefit their is from the latest government statement on training- see this statement - we hope it may make Train to Gain easier for you to access but at present we don't know. We will announce any news we find out here first.

If you want to hear our latest news and you understand these things then subscribe to our RSS feed at the bottom of this page.
