A confidence building adviser training

Welfare to work organisations, charities, housing associations and social enterprises have many experienced advisers when it comes to employment. However often these advisers have some gaps when talking to clients about self-employment options. This can be in the areas of legal and tax, benefits, business planning and signposting to funders and other specialist organisations. 

To meet these needs Enterprise Exchange have developed a comprehensive Employment Adviser Training Program (1 or 2 days) to give advisers the confidence to have that initial conversation and be able to support clients effectively.

We work with organisations such as Maximus, Prospects, G4S, Hyde Housing Association and National Careers Service.

What the training covers

• The pros and cons of self-employment
• The legal and tax requirements of being self-employed
• State benefits and self-employment
• What does success look like
  

• How to keep start-up costs down
• Available funding options
• The importance of business planning
  

This highly interactive and practical course will upskill your teams at a time when self-employment is becoming a major option for the hard to reach. We can deliver to all levels of knowledge.

"Excellent course  - interesting and very useful. A really fantastic training session. I feel I have learnt a lot. Now feel more confident about talking to customers about self-employment."
"Very informative, engaging & very insightful. I have definitely benefited from today’s session. Would have loved it to be longer, so that we could cover more areas and legalities within self-employment."

"Phil is one of the strongest and most passionate advocates of social enterprise that I have come across. He and his company do the most incredible work with the more vulnerable and disadvantaged members amongst our society and – having worked very briefly with some of them myself – I have seen the impact his work has. If you get the chance to work with Phil, please don’t let it pass you by."

"Enterprise Exchange has proven to be more than them simply fulfilling a contract, as the directors bring so much more with them. Their connections within the business community, their understanding of the challenges faced by offenders and their commitment to supporting those with whom they work, both inside and outside the prison, bring valuable resources to the partnership working within HMP Lewes."
