How will I benefit?
Over £11m of Business Link referrals to training providers in the first 9 months of operation.
Business Link acts as the first point of contact for Employer’s business support needs. Our Advisers will search for courses and bespoke training information using the new web-based Skills Brokerage Platform. In the nine months from1 April 2009, they placed more than 21,000 learners in training, with a total value of over £11m. So we feel this represents a potentially valuable source of leads for your business.
Benefits for Providers who list their courses include:
- Increased, targeted referrals for their courses
- A simplified, easy-to-use and efficient response system
- Feedback on referrals
- Comprehensive reports on employer demand for training
To maximise your chances of referral, you will need to make your courses available on the Skills Brokerage Platform. Click here to find out how.
The Public Sector Skills Brokerage Service will also use the Skills Brokerage Platform, by making your course details available you can open doors into Local Authorities, the NHS, etc
As an active Provider, you will receive management information on the number of times you are referred and selected, together with reasons for rejection or selection.
