WE BELIEVE

That all people should be treated equally and with respect, and that through example and encouragement everyone can contribute positively to society and mankind, and that organisations and employers who recognise and reward the skills, commitment, and unique contributions of their people will prosper, and in turn create more opportunities for all.

Our Mission is simple: Do everything we can to create those learning opportunities by providing the right training solutions and support to realise this vision. 

At B-Skill we are all passionate about engaging employers and using work-based learning programmes to develop teams, raise the aspirations and achievements of learners, and in so doing to improve the performance of their organisations and the wider economy.

We pride ourselves on embracing the changes of the constantly evolving world in which we live in. We constantly adapt our teaching methods and services to meet the demands of modern life and ensure we remain a pioneer among training providers.

Charity

In line with our values, B-Skill encourages participation in charity fundraising. Amongst other initiatives, we provide each of our staff with one extra day of paid leave per year to engage in any recognised charity activity of their choice.

Ethical Labour Practices 

At B-Skill, we value the unique skills, experience and perspectives of all our team. We believe the key to success is finding ways to bring out the best in our employees and learners. B-Skill are committed to provide frequent training to all our staff and learners and encourage them to seek out development opportunities. 

Environment

In an industry where recording and record retention is so important, B-Skill decided to do their part for the environment and go completely paper-less. We developed an online portal for our staff, learners and stakeholders to utilise and avoid any physical exchange of documents. All our staff embrace recycling at work, whether it is their rough notes or empty lunch packaging. We are always looking at ways to keep reducing our carbon footprint. Furthermore, B-Skill is actively promoting environmental responsibility through its ‘Learn and Grow’ campaign, which encourages learning, upskilling in the workplace, and a positive impact on the environment. For every two apprentices fully onboarded, B-Skill will now donate in the business’s name to support the plantation of trees across the UK – an exciting initiative that adds another layer to our commitment to sustainability.
