For over 20 years the PLG Directors have lived and breathed work based learning, and in 2015 came together to start PLG, a training provider that can focus on quality and supporting people to develop the skills and attributes they need to create a successful career in their chosen occupation; whilst empowering employers to build a talented and motivated workforce to help their business to grow and build on their success. Performance Learning Group love to partner with like-minded employers who have their people at the heart of their business.
The Directors at PLG all started their career within the hospitality industry and having been apprentices ourselves in the past, we are all very proud to spend our careers helping the next generation of apprentices within the hospitality industry to grow, develop and achieve their personal ambitions and dreams.
Performance Learning Group exists and operates with this exact mentality – it’s why we do what we do! Our business is all about the quality of learning, creating clearly defined development pathways for people who want to create a rewarding career, whilst empowering employers to grow their business by harnessing its internal and local talent.
We love what we do. Our reward is gaining feedback from our valued employer partners who share with us why we are different and the positive impact we continue to have in helping them to retain, recruit and develop their valued staff through our tailored and flexible training programmes.
As we strive to become the ‘go to’ strategic partner for all learning and development requirements, we live and breathe our values which are:
- Connect from the heart
