Chesterfield Skills Brokerage Service

As part of a unique collaboration between Chesterfield Borough Council and the University of Derby.

The Skills Brokerage Service is here to help. Whether you're looking to upskill your workforce, identify gaps in training, or find funding for development opportunities, we provide expert support every step of the way.

Our consultants understand that developing the right skills within your team is crucial to your organisation’s success.

Why choose our Skills Brokerage Service?

How the Skills Brokerage Service works:

 

 

We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your organisation’s unique needs. Our expert advisors will work with you to assess your current skillset, identify any gaps, and explore opportunities for growth.

Following the consultation, we will  provide you with a bespoke report outlining your organisation's skills needs. This report will offer clear recommendations on the training and development programmes that will make the biggest impact on your team’s performance.

We will connect you with both funded and unfunded training courses and opportunities. Whether you’re looking for vocational qualifications, apprenticeships, or professional development workshops, we’ll help you find the right solution to meet your goals.

We recognise that our engagement with your organisation will be the start of a journey, and that you will need further support as your organisation faces new challenges. We will be there every step of the way to support you on your journey.
