Learning Champions

Posted Fri, 12/11/2010 - 10:04

Learning Champions is a free project giving your organisation the opportunity to select a member of staff to become your in-house source of advice on training, development and funding. The project is fully funded and open to small and medium sized organisations with up to 250 employees. There are only a limited amount of places to take part in this project.

Each Learning Champion will receive 30 hours of guided support. During this time they will build their knowledge and understanding of issues relevant to making training and development more focused and worthwhile. As a result of our development and support, Learning Champions will feel able and confident to:

Explore the development needs of the organisation at any level
Develop or find solutions to those needs
Assess the success of any development activities the organisation takes

Through the programme, Learning Champions, and their organisations, will also be linked in to Train to Gain which can provide funding to supplement their organisation's development plans.

The whole project is a nationally recognised award accredited to the Open Colleges Network. On successful completion of the project Learning Champions will be awarded a Level 2 or a Level 3 qualification.

The lead partner for the Learning Champions project is North Herts College, in partnership with Akenham Individual and Organisational Development. Please find below a full list of the project's providers across Norfolk.
