An Educated Workforce is a Powerful Workforce

Sustainable businesses make sure that they pay attention to scarce skills.

Four classes of scarce skills can make a difference in any company’s competitiveness:

·         A pool of administration excellence

·         A pool of accounting excellence

·         A pool of management excellence

·         A pool of technical excellence

The contemporary business landscape’s mantra to success is “Grow your own wood”.

Companies who are able to educate their own employees will gain significant competitive advantages.

Many employees desire further education but they are unable to afford the cost of education.

Other employees have incomplete qualifications but do not know how to take the next step.

Academic programs that combine practical experience and theory are known to deliver a better quality of worker than programs that focus on theory alone.  The modern business does not have time to spend between eighteen and twenty-four months training “freshly ground graduates” in its processes and procedures.  They find it more profitable to send “grizzled veterans” to college.

Qualifications that are recognised by professional bodies are highly sought after.

Registering employees to study through Growth Institute ensures that companies qualify for tax rebates and for SETA grants.
