First Initiatives, as a charity within the Autism Initiatives Group, is bound by the Government’s Skills Pledge signed in 2009. This public commitment to support all our employees to develop their basic skills will enable them to work towards relevant and valuable qualifications.
We are making a commitment that we will:
- Actively encourage and support our employees to gain the skills and qualifications that will meet the needs of our business and will support their future employability.
- Further support our employees to acquire basic literacy and numeracy skills and work towards their first full Level 2 qualification.
- Demonstrably raise our employees’ skills and competencies to improve our organisational performance through investing in economically valuable training and development.
The purpose of the Skills Pledge is to ensure that all our staff are skilled, competent and able to make a contribution to the success of the organisation.
