Local government workers ”among most trained in public sector”
Local government employees are some of the most trained in the public sector, recent research has suggested.
The University of Birmingham study - commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions - found that other individuals in health jobs in the public sector were also among the most trained in the industry.
But the results - which looked at the training trends between 1994 to 2008 - revealed that workplace teaching has been "flat or in decline" since 2003, from 2005 in particular.
Moreover, it was noted that individuals who had received learning experiences increased variability in job satisfaction compared to those who had not.
The survey added: "By contrast, there was greater stability in the reported levels of job satisfaction among those who did not receive training".
In addition, Scarlet Harris, the Trades Union Congress's apprenticeships policy and campaign officer, previously pointed out that employers are not providing sufficient on-the-job training opportunities.
