npower offers help to North East businesses

npower opened its doors last week to North East businesses in order to showcase their training programme.

npower’s contact centres are predominantly based in East Durham and the training programme aims to provide a range of support for its staff. This includes a space for employees to pursue tailor-made skills training as well as offering literacy, numeracy and vocational courses.

The Opening Doors event gave other regional employers the opportunity to see learning in action and meet some of npower’s learning team.

npower believes that staff training is fundamental to the ongoing success of the business. npower is working with Business Action on Skills to help make the case for organisations to keep focused on the learning needs of the workforce, and not to cut training budgets at a time when many companies may be tempted to do so.

Lesley Blower, npower’s Learning Resource Centre Manager, said: “We are very proud to be showcasing our award winning training programme to local businesses in the area. The Open Doors event has given us the opportunity to highlight the importance of investing in our employees, despite the current economic climate.”
