UPSKILL YOUR WORKFORCE

  • Upskilling your workforce means providing your employees with opportunities to learn new skills and develop their existing ones. Upskilling can benefit your organisation by:

 

  • Improving morale, engagement, and satisfaction of your employees
  • Increasing productivity, efficiency, and quality of work
  • Saving on recruitment costs and retaining talent
  • Enhancing problem-solving and adaptability skills
  • Enabling employee growth and new challenges
  •  

One of the key aspects of training is capacity building. Training programmes cover a wide range of topics, including fundraising strategies, bid writing, volunteer management, governance. These courses help organisations develop the skills needed to secure funding, engage volunteers, and measure the impact of their initiatives, ultimately enabling them to fulfil their missions more successfully. By investing in the training and development of their staff, organisations can ensure that their teams are well-equipped to tackle complex social issues and make a positive impact in their communities. As the sector continues to evolve and face new challenges, ongoing training and education remain essential for those dedicated to making a difference in the world of social impact and community development.

Fortunately anyone can upskill and there are plenty resources out there to help us – once we know where to start.
