proposal to boss of training

[desired_affect]

I have recently asked my boss if he would be willing to put me through my CS38 & CS39, he sounds keen but has asked me to come up with a proposal for him.

Does any who runs there own company have any ideas on what they would like to see or just any one with any idea. i would be very grateful of your input.

I think he may be thinking whats in it for him. If he trains you up, and you leave him, (which many do) he's wasted his money. I would suggest that you agree to staying with him for say 3yrs, with the cost of the training covered by that time. If you leave him after say 2yrs, you re-imburse him for 1/3rd of the training costs, leave after 1yr pay for the remaining 2yrs and so on. Hope I've worded this clearly so you follow me.

Of course, he also has a duty to ensure that you are qualified to do any of the jobs he asks you to do. In this economic climate, the last thing bosses can afford is to pay for training and then the staff leave to set up in competition with them, so maybe sign something to that effect too.

Welcome to the forum, and good luck mate:001_smile:

I imagine that he would want to see a rough outline as to why you want to do it. If you give him a proposal that says along the lines of "I want to do the 38 and 39 because I feel that I can be a more useful member of the team (and in turn, make you more money)". I think he'd also want some kind of guarantee that you're not going to just get the tickets paid for, then run off and set up on your own.

 

It'll show that you're keen and have a bit of ambition. If I were a boss, I'd be more inclined to fund someone that is keen and I'd ensure that they stuck around.

 

Just my thoughts, Hope they're of help.

try for government funding or offer to sign a loyalty agreement to ensure that you wont take the training & bugger off

the idea of saying i would stay so long after training is usual but are there any other ideas? I've had such as looking after my own climbing kit I already have, paying for its LOLER inspections.

 

I feel i have really gotta get this right as he has already payed for one persons training, who now works for them self most of the time now and uses his climbing kit, so i totally understand his wanting of a proposal.

Hello Desired Affect,......mmmmmm, when I saw the title I thought you were suggesting to you,re boss that you should come to work in drag. In which case I would recommend a long black evening dress with matching gloves and clutch bag. And to top it off a long blond wig. Just kidding bruv.
