Staff training software for internal career moves 

Access Careers Centre helps employees build clear career goals, with personalised eLearning and career coaching on hand whenever they need it. 

Increase employee engagement

Scalable learning paths 

Employees start with assessments that map their strengths, skills and career interests. From there, they're supported by structured practice and AI feedback to close the skills gaps that matter most. For your organisation, analytics give visibility into activity and engagement across the workforce. 

Integrated employment training and staff development

Employees build the skills your organisation needs while also planning their own progression, all in our employee career development software. Assessments, structured practice and eLearning video content work alongside your existing training programmes rather than replacing them. 

From self-awareness to a clear career pathway, in one place 

Three connected stages build staff development by taking employees from understanding their strengths to building the skills and confidence to progress. 

Assess - Comprehensive career assessments 

Employees complete assessments covering their skills, personality, emotional intelligence, strengths, values and motivations, building a clear picture of their potential career paths. 

Grow - Skills built through safe practice 

Structured scenarios let employees try things out with no audience and no stakes, then review detailed AI feedback on communication quality, tone and professional presence. Over 1,300 CPD-accredited eLearning training modules support self-paced learning alongside it. 

Find - Preparing for internal progression 

Career development is often reserved for the people who ask for it. But Access Careers Centre’s CV Coach and Interview360 help employees put their skills into words and prepare for their next move within the organisation.

Your questions answered (FAQ) 

Why is staff training and development important for businesses?

Organisations that invest in training and development retain people for longer, fill more roles internally and build capability without relying solely on external hiring. When employees can see a path forward and have the tools to get there, engagement follows. When they cannot, they leave, and replacing them is estimated to cost up to twice their annual salary. 

What's the difference between staff training and staff development?

Staff training is role-specific and present-focused, equipping employees to perform their current job more effectively. Staff development is broader, expanding capabilities and career potential over the longer term. 

How does Access Careers Centre support staff training and development?

Assessments surface each employee's strengths, skills gaps and career interests, giving individuals and their organisation a clear starting point. Over 1,300 CPD-accredited eLearning modules and structured practice scenarios address role-specific skill gaps. CV Coach and Interview360 help employees prepare for internal moves, so the people most ready to progress are not also the ones most likely to be overlooked. 

What does implementation involve?

We’ll work with you to build a Customer Success Plan that captures your goals, priorities, and the key milestones in your onboarding journey.  

Timelines depend on your organisation's size, configuration needs, and whether you are moving to us from another provider. Full implementation usually takes around 8-10 weeks. 

Can we use our own branding?

Yes. Access Careers Centre is white-labelled, so you can apply your organisation's branding and configure it to how your organisation works. Employees can experience it as part of your existing systems rather than a third-party tool. 

Is employee data kept private?

Access Careers Centre is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified. 

How is the eLearning content kept current?

New CPD-accredited content is added regularly, covering topics from career discovery through to interview preparation, so the library stays relevant without input from your team. 

How can HR managers track progress and learning outcomes?

Easy reporting let HR and L&D teams track activity, engagement and skills development across the organisation. 

Are employees in career transition supported?

Employees exploring internal moves, secondment or a change in direction can use the same assessments and CV tools as everyone else. If your organisation needs formal outplacement or redundancy support, speak to our team about the services available.
