Tackling the TIC skills gap: preparing for the future

Transforming the TIC Talent Landscape 

The Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) sector faces a critical barrier: a growing skills shortage. We work with global leaders across the entire TIC sector. Without fail, they are all concerned that not enough new talent is entering their industry to replace an ageing workforce that are leaving. 

Are You Losing the Talent War? 

The competition for skilled professionals within the TIC sector has never been more intense. Are your competitors luring away your top talent? Struggling with soaring wage demands? Hindered in delivering timely results due to a lack of skilled staff? If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these, it’s time to devise a robust strategy to break this cycle. 

Why Partner with Tiro? 

We are trusted by global TIC leaders, including Eurofins, SGS, Intertek, Element Materials Technology and SOCOTEC. Together, we are finding them the talent they need today – and a pathway to creating their leaders of the future. Through our industry-led apprenticeships and specialised training, we transform our partners into preferred employers, attracting the next generation of top-tier talent. 

Tiro: Disrupting Skills Gaps with Industry-led Apprenticeships 

Our apprenticeships directly address the skills gap, offering employers a sustainable pipeline of new talent. From entry-level to degree apprenticeships, we offer tailored learning packages designed to rapidly enhance skill levels and deliver tangible workplace results. Our partners report significant returns on investment within just three months of launching our apprenticeships. 

Our programs are primarily funded through your apprenticeship levy or by transferring funds from others. Your costs are minimal—cover the wages, and we will help you secure funding for the rest. 

The Critical Role of Apprenticeships in the TIC Sector 

Constantly firefighting due to a lack of staff? If securing the right talent for the right roles seems like an impossible task, it’s time for a change. We are providing real solutions now, helping TIC organisations navigate an increasingly challenging future.    

“We’re delighted to have worked with Tiro in the development of their degree apprenticeships. There is an urgent need to support the development of laboratory skills and leadership across SOCOTEC. Degree apprenticeships are vital in helping the business to attract new talent and shape and grow our future workforce. Its important that we provide options for ‘in work development & education’ and the degree apprenticeship is an important step” Lisa Massey, HR Director at SOCOTEC.
