7 email: news@signlink.co.uk Issue 253 - June / July 2024 Training – The What, the Why and the How What is the purpose of training? Put literally, training is a process of increasing the knowledge and skills relating to a particular job. Training can include product updates, goals to improve capability, productivity and performance, and can enhance positive general work behaviour. Everyone at every level can benefit from training, be it a one-off session or as part of an ongoing education programme; when we stop learning, we stop growing! Why doesn’t everyone do it? Misconceptions! Training is only for those who are new to the industry and require an introduction and understanding of the fundamental elements of sign and print – False! Training is beneficial for those who need an update or reminder of facts and processes, a refresher course for example, and is also applicable to those with experience in the industry – Fact! Another common misconception is that training is just for small businesses who are not as established or have fewer resources; however, more and more large Sign and Print companies are adopting company-wide training, for staff at all levels – Fact! What are the benefits? The primary benefits of training include the opportunity to enhance skill sets, improve knowledge, and keep current with industry patterns and trends. Training also provides the opportunity for peer interaction, sharing of ideas and knowledge, and generally encourages positive interaction. Furthermore, training has proven to enhance morale, improve client interaction, and promote motivation which results in business-critical improvements and can positively impact revenue and profitability. Training is for EVERYONE at every level, whether a newcomer or an industry veteran, there is always something to learn, enhance, or perfect.

I believe your expertise and the training I received would be a valuable addition to my professional network. Your workshop was truly inspiring. Roya – Pearce Signs October 2023 Having been in the industry for 38 years, there are still things to learn. I found the frontline course really informative, the way it was delivered and also the conversations between us all really sparked some great thoughts and ideas, some of which I implemented the next day! So even if you think you know, just go and you will expand your knowledge for sure. David Mearns, MD Signmode I was so impressed with the course, your knowledge and delivery is superb.
