Kuits a leading commercial law firm based in Manchester city centre faced a major challenge, with the ever increasing need to use digital methods to do the basics of the job, there was a need to improve IT skills across the organisation to be more effective and efficient in the services they provide.

They recognised that upskilling their workforce to retain employees and offer opportunities for development was key to business growth vision. Kuits recognised the benefits of Digital Careers Upskill Programme and enrolled several of their employees onto the programme and they completed Level 3 Spreadsheet units accredited by Edexcel.

As a result of the training, the individuals completing the course have a fare better grasp of using spreadsheets and more specifically Pivot Tables and benefits of it in their roles.

Kuits have also shown their support of the programme by co-hosted a joint event to engage and inform the Pro Manchester business community network members the benefits of Digital Skills and the fully funded courses available.

Alison Pearse is the lead contact at Kuits shared how the course went:

“Everyone who participated on the course felt that they really benefitted from improving and developing their skills. The course was delivered in a very accessible and supportive way, meaning that it was easy to ask questions, recap where necessary and deal with individual queries. It’s always hard to find the time away from desks for additional training but I know that we all felt this to be worthwhile -and enjoyable!”
