​Recruitment support that strengthens your workforce

Finding the right people shouldn’t slow your organisation down.

Through Access Works, Access Training offers a flexible, practical recruitment support service designed to connect employers with job‑ready candidates — at no cost to you.

For the past four years, we’ve been helping employers across the East Midlands and beyond build strong, committed teams. In that time, we’ve supported many people into full‑time work and helped organisations access a steady pipeline of motivated candidates.

​What we offer

Bespoke pre‑employment training

We design short, tailored training programmes built around the skills and behaviours you need in your workforce. This ensures candidates arrive with the right foundations to succeed, whether you’re recruiting for customer service, care, admin, warehousing, trades, or other key roles.

Candidate integration and support

We help embed candidates into your organisation before they start, giving them a clear understanding of your culture, expectations, and ways of working. This improves confidence, readiness, and retention.​ ​

Referral and application support

We work with partner organisations to secure high‑quality referrals from people actively looking for work. We guide candidates through the application process, ensuring they understand the role and what you’re looking for. ​

Screening and suitability checks

Our team screens every applicant to make sure they’re suitable for the role and motivated to progress. This saves you time and provides reassurance that you’re meeting people committed to long‑term employment. ​

Completely free service

As a training provider, we deliver this recruitment support entirely free of charge. There are no fees, no hidden costs, and no long-term commitments, just practical help to strengthen your hiring pipeline. ​
