Six members
of the BSP Consulting team are undertaking management and leadership training
as part of staff and company development.
Another
group of employees is being lined up to get involved in the second wave of
training at the East Midlands-based civil and structural engineering firm, said
business development director Jef Todd.
“As a
company, BSP Consulting has been growing steadily and it’s important that we
equip our teams with the necessary skills to support our continued development
and to provide them with ongoing professional development too,” said Jef.
“We are
committed to both staff and company development, reflecting on our wider
commitment to offering the best service we can to our clients across the East
Midlands and the UK.”
Those
currently undertaking the Apprenticeship NVQ course, run by Training for Business,
are structures director Paul Elphick, associate director – civils Matt Viggars,
associate director – civils Tony Goddard, chartered civil engineer Carol Ell,
principal transport planner Joanna Posnett and senior engineer Oliver Dike.
Based
across BSP’s offices in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, the group will spend around
15 months completing the Level 4 NVQ Diploma in Management. The next group of
employees is due to start the training in six months.
The Level 4
NVQ Diploma in Management is ideal for managers moving into a middle management
position, who still retain responsibility for operational processes but are
more removed from day-to-day line management duties. The qualification develops
the knowledge and skills required to take on higher level responsibilities such
as planning and implementing change.
Those
involved will develop core leadership skills, take charge of personal and
professional development, gain the skills to be able to plan and implement an
operational plan, improve working relationships, and achieve a recognised
qualification for personal development.
The course
is governed by ILM (Institute of Leadership and Management) and is being delivered
to the BSP team as an Apprenticeship Framework which includes an NVQ by Nottingham-based
Training for Business, an Ofsted rated #1 Outstanding training provider, which
is part of the NHTA Group Ltd that provides apprenticeships across the East
Midlands.
“Training
for Business are passionate about the power of quality accredited
qualifications to transform people and give them the skills they need for
the future. We understand all people are different and need
flexible suppliers of training to ensure each and every person reaches
their full potential, and as such all our qualifications are delivered
one-on-one in the work place and at a time convenient to both the learner and
employer,” said Charlotte
Moreland, managing
director of Training for Business. “We are very pleased to be supporting the
team at BSP Consulting.”
BSP and Training for Business organised the training after
linking up through support from Nottingham City Council via Nottingham Jobs
Hub.
