Happy New Year from Skillstories!

The Skillstories Live network (which some of you will know in its previous guise as the Skills Practitioner Network) is launching in style with the first event of 2010 being hosted by NEC Group in Birmingham on the 9th February, followed by National Grid’s ‘Engineering our Future’ event on the 2nd March – both will be full of the usual success stories, workshops and networking opportunities.

Our new ‘Opening Doors to Learning Cultures’ series of events will be kicking off on the 24th February in Liverpool with Merseytravel inviting HR/Training and Development professionals from local organisations (or further afield) in to see first hand how they have developed a learning culture, bringing to life the benefits with an opportunity to meet learners and a site visit, along with a presentation detailing the why, the how, and the impact.

The 2010 Business in the Community Awards for Excellence have launched, with the new ‘Skills in the Workplace’ award open for entries – for more info see http://tinyurl.com/yek5nut.

Our panel of experts is expanding, and more and more companies are making the informal learning pledge – making a commitment to developing a learning culture in which informal and formal learning go side by side. Put your company’s name amongst the likes of Ginsters, McDonalds, Marshalls, Clugston Group and many many more in 2010 and let us profile the work you’re doing!

Plenty of opportunity for you to make 2010 a year of success for the learning culture of your organisation!

To keep up to date with what we can offer, you can now follow us on twitter. We’ll also be launching a new monthly e-newsletter so please watch out for this, we’d like to hear your feedback!

All the best for 2010!

    Addressing skills gaps is a key part of the government’s agenda.  At NIACE we can provide a variety of services and resources to help you meet this challenge. Our partnership work with the National Offender Management Service and the British Army to deliver an embedded strategic approach gives us unrivalled expertise in work-based literacy, language and numeracy.
