Find the time to boost your knowledge and skills with bitesized training

Improving your personal and professional knowledge as an entrepreneur is always a good idea. And when time IS money - one of the most effective ways to do this is through short effective sessions. Learning a new skill increases morale, boosts confidence, and helps keep your mind healthy.

When you’re self-employed, it can be difficult taking time away from running your business. Bitesized workshops are short, impactful sessions, making it easy to fit learning into busy schedules so you get the skills you need when you need them.

First, Identify Key Skills to Develop

Focus on skills that align with your professional and business goals. Are you looking to boost sales through marketing or want to learn softer skills like communication and leadership?

Make a wish list of things you’d like to learn and then rank them by importance. Then you know where to start.

Or you can speak to one our EnterprisingYou advisors, who can give you an objective view of where you might want to focus.

Growth is a step-by-step process

Businesses are embracing bitesize training as a core component of their employee training programmes. Over 40% of applications made through GM Business Growth Hub’s GM Skills Map are now for bitesize training courses, showing increased demand for concise learning. If a business operates a hybrid working policy, flexible learning solutions are needed, streamlining onboarding processes, compliance training, and skill development, allowing employees to learn at their own pace.

Bitesized learning isn’t just for larger organisations to help support the growth of their employees. Being self-employed means you often need to increase your knowledge to help fill a skills gap that is required to run your business more effectively.
