If you’re running a business, you’ve probably faced challenges when it comes to finding staff with the right skills. Recent figures from the Employer Skills Survey 2022 show that 15% of businesses are facing skills gaps, affecting around 1.72 million employees. That’s a noticeable jump from previous years – and a clear sign that many organisations need support finding or developing the right talent.
That’s where Complete Skills Solutions (CSS) comes in. Whether you’re looking to hire new team members or upskill your current staff, CSS offers practical, (potentially) fully funded solutions designed to help businesses like yours thrive.
1. Supporting You With Recruitment
Finding the right people can be a challenge, but CSS makes it easier. We offer a straightforward pre-employment training service that helps you build a strong talent pipeline. Here’s how it works:
- You sign up and share details of the roles you need to fill.
- CSS recruits from their network of motivated learners and invites them to a taster Open Day.
- Learners take part in training that’s tailored to your sector and a great fit for your roles
- You interview candidates who’ve completed the programme.
- You decide who to hire – it’s that simple.
Taking the CSS approach means you’re meeting candidates who are trained, motivated, and ready to hit the ground running.

2. Practical Training to Upskill Your Team
Retaining good staff is just as important as hiring them. With CSS, you can invest in your team’s development through fully funded Level 3 qualifications – including training in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and autism awareness.
Courses are delivered online with friendly, expert tutor support, so your employees can fit learning around their work schedules and start applying new skills straight away.

3. Access to a Wider Talent Pool
CSS has strong links with Job Centres, housing associations, and community organisations – helping you connect with a diverse range of candidates, including those who might not normally come through traditional recruitment channels.
This not only helps fill your vacancies but also supports social mobility and builds a more inclusive workforce.
4. Real Results, Real Impact
When you work with CSS, you’re joining a community of employers who are seeing real results. In fact, 86% of learners go on to achieve positive outcomes, including employment.
CSS also supports learners outside of the classroom, partnering with organisations like the Community Shop to offer discounted groceries and hot meals – making sure learners are job-ready in every sense of the word.
