Many jobs require ongoing training and research to stay competitive in a world with rapidly evolving information and technology. Some believe that it is the responsibility of businesses to pay for this training for their staff while others feel it is up to the individual. Discuss both views and give your own opnion.
Nowadays, in order to remain desirable to companies,
individuals
must keep their CVs up-to-date by attending training programmes. Some think that this
is the responsibility of the individual, whereas
others assume it is on the head of the businesses to fund the practice. I believe there is something to be said about both
schools of thought and this
essay will discuss both
viewpoints.
On the one hand, there are many individuals
who are incredibly talented and have a lot of potential,
but cannot Remove the comma
apply
further
their careers due to
a lack of funds. An unfortunate event, as these individuals
may have a lot to give, but do not have the means to partake in these courses. Thus
, in this
situation, both
the individual and the business would be at a disadvantage. For example
, Rolls Royce has an amazing apprenticeship programme that my young cousin is starting this
September. They train school leavers and mould them into individuals
who can further
benefit the company. Moreover
, without this
program, she would have looked to get a job rather than furthering her education which would have been a shame thanks to her high IQ and photographic memory.
On the other hand
, these training programmes are for the personal growth of the individual, which means once they complete the training required, they could leave the company. In this
case, the business would be at a loss after spending tens of thousands for a prospective employee. For instance
, the NHS pays for part of the graduate-entry programme for Medicine since these applicants are not eligible for student finance. Out of these individuals
, a staggering 30% choose not to practice after finishing university and another 15% decide to practice abroad. Consequently
, if the NHS did not run the above scheme they may have the money to place elsewhere
to ensure current junior doctors are given a pay rise.
In conclusion, there are benefits seen in both
arguments, which are heavily monetary. I believe this
can be solved by a stipulation in the contract to ensure the businesses receive a healthy return on investment, ensuring both
parties are successful.Submitted by patelmeera on
