Newham Business Improvement District launches new training opportunities
Monday 4th November, 2024
Newham and the Port of Truro Business Improvement District have this month launched a new virtual training package for businesses on the estate in partnership with SEEDL.
The new learning solution will be available to all levy
paying businesses and their employees and will offer free unlimited access to over
200 courses. The learning
solution is amongst the first of its kind around the UK and is launched in
partnership with SEEDL, a world pioneering virtual live learning subscription
service.
The training
package offers topics that help local employees learn new skills, help their
employer’s performance and ultimately make Newham Industrial Estate more
successful. Courses include mental wellness, health and safety, first
aid training and leadership, and will be available on a flexible basis.
The courses
are uniquely all live interactive webinars, allowing employees to learn on a
flexible basis, accessing webinars from their home, office or any of Newham’s
venues with internet.
Mel Richardson, Newham BID Manager said: “We’re pleased
to have launched our new training offering to businesses on the estate. With so
many types of businesses in our industrial estate, this is a great way for us
to address learning needs with courses to suit every sector.”
“This is delivering on our commitment to support
businesses and invest in the future, which was a key pillar in our business
plan for this third term. Core to this was facilitating training sessions,
either virtual or physical, for businesses in Newham. We hope that this will
provide employers with more than just training courses but will also help
businesses retain employees and tempt new employees, given learning is such a
key part of candidate attraction and retention.”
On
completing a course, employees can download a Newham BID completion of learning
certificate, helping staff evidence their personal development.
If you’ve not done so already, sign up is simple, ask the
Newham BID team for a form or register directly on the website.
