Use ITC training to retain your good staff
In business areas where work diminishes, shedding staff is often seen as the answer. However, redundancy can be painful for your business as well as the individuals who are affected by it.
There may be staff you want to retain because you have invested in them and they have the right attitudes and skills. Retraining can be an attractive alternative to redundancy where staff’s existing knowledge of your business could be allied with expertise in a new practice area.
Where speed is of the essence
Your staff can become familiar with a new area of law and associated procedures very quickly by selecting from our ILEX Level 3 courses in law and practice. Qualified staff requiring foundation knowledge in a new discipline might expect to complete the courses in two or three months, depending on the amount of study leave granted. If your staff study for the optional exam you can be confident that they will retain the knowledge attained.
Subjects that might be of interest include Family Law, Family Practice, Employment Law, Employment Practice or the Practice of Law for the Elderly Client.
