Sierra 57 | Staff Training Promotes Staff Retention

Join the ranks of companies already enjoying the benefits of the Sierra 57 Consult on-site plant training.

Sierra 57 Consult have to date delivered 198 onsite injection moulding training modules over the last 6 months, being recognised by the British Plastics Federation (BPF) as a leading training supplier to the UK Plastics Industry.

Launched in early 2022, the Sierra 57 Consult Onsite Training was developed in response to customer needs to upskill and further develop existing staff members, promoting staff confidence, personal career recognition and better applications in their everyday machining operations, whilst businesses continue to tackle the issues and challenges with recruiting external moulding professionals.  Upskilling existing staff and promoting / investing in a good “culture-fit” has become more and more essential to busy manufacturers who are struggling with technical staff shortages currently being felt by the UK market at a high level, and not looking to plateau out anytime soon.

Each course is adapted to your company’s environment, your mould machines, your mould tools and materials.

Benefits of Onsite Training

When delivered onsite, training courses can be tailored to site-specific tasks and applications. The training will be very relevant making learning more engaging and afterwards, new knowledge will be easy to apply on return to work.

By already working on-site, Trainees will understand site-specific safety procedures, hazards and restrictions. Operating within these surroundings should help put them at ease and promote their confidence. Operators become more comfortable and competent quicker.

Micro-learning / bite-size modular training promotes more thorough embedding one-to-one training and coursework retention before moving onto the next training phase. It is in no-one’s interest to push Trainees into further training until they have comfortable secured a 70% pass rate of existing training levels.

Further, Onsite Training is cheaper. You are not being asked to cover the overheads of operating a training centre expenses, and employees aren’t taken away from work for any longer than is necessary, so any effect on productivity is minimised.

Our Trainers can deliver training across all of your shift patterns, including nights, weekends and Bank Holidays.
