For any good employer, developing the skills of their staff should be a key strategic goal. Besides raising the skills levels of the workforce and thus the effectiveness of the organisation, training provides motivation and increases employees’ loyalty. A sensible employer will realise that and encourage interest in training. Ask your colleagues, manager or human resources department what training options are available for you. If the employer offers nothing itself, then find out about suitable courses that you can take externally and ask if your organisation will give you the time and funding necessary. Your employer will benefit as much from your training as you will.
