The Gi Group UK Employability, Skills and Learning (ESL) division was launched in January 2016.

The creation of this division was a natural ‘next step’ following the company’s  success in the development of its Apprenticeship Training Programme.

The ESL team works with the awarding bodies Ofsted, SFA and with the clients to ensure that its apprenticeship programmes are of the highest quality, maximising the potential of the workers in the best interest of both clients and candidates.

Gi Group has a team of Trainers, Assessors, Internal Quality Assessors and Programme Facilitators, as well as a central back office support team.

This team works alongside the Gi Group branch and SMS teams to support the apprentices through their course, providing training and guidance at each step.

Current Apprenticeship Programmes include:

  • Business Administration
  • Business Improvement Techniques
  • Customer Service
  • Improving Operational Performance Management
  • Performing Manufacturing Operations
  • Recruitment
  • Team Leading
  • Warehouse & Storage

The ESL team can also provide information, guidance and practical support including:

  • Providing information about The Apprenticeship Levy & how it will impact your organisation
  • Providing guidance about working with Ofsted and the Skills Funding Agency (SFA)
  • Delivering a standard Gi Group Apprenticeship Programme
  • Designing and delivering a client bespoke Apprenticeship Programme
