Discover new avenues for business growth

We begin with you

The priority in a Strategic Skills Review is to learn about your organisation’s goals, requirements and challenges.

• Do you need to demonstrate the ROI and impact of your L&D investment to the C-Suite?


• Are you finding it difficult to keep up with policy changes and make the most of government funding for Apprenticeships, Skills Bootcamps and other opportunities?


• Do you need to align your workforce development strategy with your organisation’s objectives?


• Are you looking to attract new talent, improve retention or upskill and reskill your existing workforce?


• Do you want to increase employee engagement with training and create a culture of lifelong learning?

No matter what you need to achieve, you can rely on us – your global skills partner – to provide support and solutions. Since 1878, City & Guilds has been dedicated to advancing the skills that people, organisations and societies need to thrive, both now and in the future.

Tailored recommendations

The Strategic Skills Review is a no-obligation, informal discussion with one of our Skills Specialists, held online or in person at a time that suits you.

You’ll receive actionable insights aligned with your objectives, hear advice on funding opportunities and explore L&D solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.

Where could a Skills Review take you?

We partner with organisations for productivity and growth in many ways, across many industries. While your Skills Specialist will provide bespoke recommendations for your organisation, here’s some examples of how we can strengthen your workforce and close your skills gaps:

• Supporting the development of in-house training programmes and academies, ensuring alignment with your strategic goals and prioritising resource where you can make the greatest impact and demonstrate ROI.


• Boosting engagement and credibility with your existing in-house training programmes through quality assurance, benchmarking, validation and dual-branded digital credentials. Elevate your L&D offering with current and prospective employees.


• Uplifting your leaders and managers through consultancy, coaching, awards and qualifications. The result? A resilient workforce, able to adapt through change and move you closer to your goals.


• Meeting skills delivery needs at scale, with best-in-class work-based learning, assessment and credentialing across in-demand technical skills.


• Providing expert, up-to-date guidance on government funding so you can invest in workforce skills without impacting the bottom line.
