TEMPORARY staff with Robert Half International in Southampton can take advantage of free Internet-based training as part of a campaign by the consultancy to boost skills levels in the city.

The Internet training programme comprises 500 computer-based training courses covering subjects from IT to accountancy and administration. It will be offered free of charge to all RHI temporary staff and contract candi-dates placed with clients.

Southampton operations manager Rod Hutchings said that training and work patterns for the millennium were two important factors at the moment.

He added that with technology-based training set to grow by more than 50 per cent in the next couple of years RHI was leading the market.
