Equiom have a dedicated in house Training Manager which means that there is a keen emphasis placed on training and development within the business. The Training Manager has a strong educational teaching background and is a CIMA accountant, so ideally placed to support students. 

Alex Frew, HR Manager, Equiom: “As an employer of over 70 staff in Inverness and 700 globally, Equiom are very proud of our training programme and the opportunities we can offer. Beyond academic training, Equiom look at softer skills too (e.g. presentation skills, negotiation skills, learning to delegate, managing time effectively, managing stress etc.). Resilience in young people and how to support them in their day to day lives when problems arise is a key area of focus for us.

As an ICAEW Authorised Training Employer, CIMA Training Quality Partner, and ACCA Platinum Approved Employer, Equiom are completely committed to bringing in young people and ‘growing our own’ talent. We also support AAT as a bridging qualification and these accreditations show their continued focus on quality training and development for young people.”
