New Skills Consulting

New Skills Consulting has joined a growing number of North East companies committing to the development of its staff by making the Skills Pledge.

The Skills Pledge, being driven in the region by the LSC North East, aims to encourage businesses and organisations to commit to staff training and development. Since its launch, over 300 employers in the region have made the public commitment to people development.

New Skills Consulting managing director, Peter Graham, said: "As a company we believe it is important to value and invest in our staff and ensure that everyone has the right skills and support to do their job to the highest possible standard. We want people to be able to develop and grow and take advantage of the opportunities we offer for career progression. We also want people to feel as though they have a real say in what we do and a stake in the company's future. The Skills Pledge will ensure we do all of this, and much more."

Chris Roberts, chief operating officer of the LSC, added: "There is a clear link between skills training and improving a business's chance of survival in an increasingly competitive marketplace. The Skills Pledge goes to the heart and soul of a business or organisation. It represents an undertaking to commit to a culture of staff development, starting with those who have the lowest level of skills and qualifications, and we want employers to know that the Skills Pledge makes a lasting impression on their business and the bottom line."
