Transform your Workforce at Scale

Retailers, large and small, are feeling the adverse effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately, retailers across the UK have had to close their doors, placing their workers in precarious situations. If you’re a retailer facing these unique challenges, there is a way for you to provide support and reassurance to your workforce.

Through Strive Training, you can offer your employees the opportunity to earn a Level 2 qualification in a range of relevant subjects – at absolutely no cost. Our Employee Upskilling courses are fully funded by the UK government and are designed to equip your employees with the skills they need to face the future. Courses are completely home-based and can be completed in as few as five weeks.
