Lifetime wins exclusive training contract with Akkeron Hotels
Akkeron Hotels have chosen Lifetime, the national training group, to partner with them to define, develop and deliver high quality, accredited and role-relevant funded training programmes. This will include government-funded Apprenticeships that will enhance the current training and development of employees across the Akkeron Hotels estate.
Lifetime will be providing Akkeron Hotels with a range of benefits including:
- Access to funding for the development of their employees' skills to ensure they achieve not only their full potential, but gain industry recognised qualifications as well.
- Ability to keep pace with the changes in standards and working practices, helping to make them more effective, productive and competitive by addressing their skills gap directly.
- With much, if not all, of the training and assessment taking place in the workplace, apprentices learn how your company operates and develop the skills your business needs, meaning they can add more value much earlier.
- Ability to attract new talent and train their employees to specifically meet the needs of their business processes and services.
Elaine Price, Head of
Training at Akkeron Hotels says ''Since Akkeron
Hotels joined with Lifetime , we have started an exciting journey
to help our hotel teams gain qualifications, which significantly
impact on the learning and development of individuals and help the
learners achieve their career aspirations. The individuals are able
to complete their Apprenticeship during their everyday shifts, at
their own pace, enabling them to gain a recognised qualification,
with the Lifetime assessors paying individual attention to each
learner."
"The help and assistance from the Lifetime team has been invaluable, keeping us informed on how the group is progressing and now a key part in our learning and development strategy in the businesses. With the planned large growth of the hotel group over the next three years to approx 150 hotels, Lifetime is a key partner in this important area in a time where employee engagement and customer service are paramount to the success of our businesses'.
Lifetime is very well positioned within the funded training sector, having been awarded a government contract through the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) in recognition of their quality assurance. This, coupled with the ability to deliver training across Akkeron Hotels' whole business, further supported their decision.
Over the last few months Lifetime has been conducting a full Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and will now be contacting employees directly to assess eligibility and sign them onto relevant funded training programmes.
