Kim Hodgson, the Trust's chief executive, has signed a statement of intent that the Trust will make a skills pledge.
The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) Train to Gain Skills Pledge is a voluntary scheme that all employers across the country can sign up to.
It is a public commitment to encourage and support employees to develop their basic skills, including literacy and numeracy, and work towards relevant qualifications to at least Level 2 (equivalent to five good GCSEs).
The Government will provide funding to help staff achieve these qualifications.
Monica Green, director of human resources at East Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust, said, "We are committed to giving our staff more opportunities to develop their skills and careers at the Trust. This will help us to retain these staff and will also benefit our patients."
