Essex County Council has committed to the skills agenda in a big way. As a large county, we can make a significant impact on this key national priority. We have set stretching targets to improve skills levels and would like to help companies to access the range of assistance that is available, from apprenticeships and student placements to in-house training. Increasing skills improves competitiveness and can increase your productivity and turnover. Why not explore the range of help available and discover the best solution for your company?
