Skills development

Successful businesses invest in skills, from the most senior to the most junior member of staff.

Well-trained people are more productive, able to identify and correct inefficiencies, and keep up-to-date with best practice.  With a highly trained workforce, businesses are able to focus attention on growth and innovation.

HIE often works in partnership with business support organisations and academic institutes - including the prospective University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management's Entrepreneurship Center -  to offer businesses access to programmes, schemes, workshops, courses and events to stimulate and develop entrepreneurship and business development.
