Train To Gain
What is Train to Gain?
Train to Gain is the government-led programme designed to help businesses improve their productivity and competitiveness by ensuring that staff have the right skills to do the best job.
Through the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) the government provides funding for a whole range of vocational qualifications and skills for life such as literacy and numeracy, allowing employers to improve the skills of their workforce at low or even NO COST.
