Learning Champions

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.

 

Our aim is to encourage non unionised organisations in the region to support their employees in their development through their own in house Learning Champions – members of the team that can influence the role that development and training will have in the future.

 

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.
