Moving Careers

Within a very short period of time, Employers may find a revived job market which will herald a return to skill shortages.  As we have all experienced in the past, this places an extreme amount of pressure on employers keen to attract the right staff with more emphasis being placed on a 'whole-of-career' package proposition by employees.

Obviously, the uncertainty and recent mass lay-offs are still fresh in workers minds and those looking to move will want to secure employment which offers career-development and strong values which align with the individual workers as they try to future-proof their career.

Because of the uncertainty created during the downturn, employees have been prepared to swallow the salary and bonus freezes, accepted reduced hours and took unpaid leave to keep their jobs.  But now that the economy is rebounding, employee's will soon be back to asking you "so what are you going to do for me now?"

So, what can you do?  Career development is among the top 3 things employees want from their employer.  Employers need to offer clear paths in career development, internal career advancement opportunities and quality career transition programs to their employees.

At Hopwood Integrated Training we specialise in putting together Career Development Pathways. In 2010 we extended our scope of training to include the Diploma of Management.  This is in addition to our wide range of qualifications from Certificate level 1 to 4.

We know that as your business has grown you have provided opportunities for internal promotion into higher responsibility based roles.  But, have you had the opportunity to provide these employee's with formal recognition of their skills whilst developing the required skill sets of the new job role.  We can provide these services for you whilst contextualising the training to the needs of 'your' business, not ours.

You may not also realise that this training may be fully funded by an Australian Apprenticeship Pathway and in some cases, may provide a cash positive training budget for other staff within your organisation who require training.

Let our staff support your organisation by way of providing Career Development plans for the betterment of your business. Don't get left behind as the economy surges forward...
