Learning at work week 2018

I'm really looking forward to  Learning at Work Week which is nearly here. It's from  Monday 14th of May to Friday 18th of May.  Essex depots are carrying out a variety of fun and engaging themes.  The 2018 theme for Learning at Week is- 
'Network for Learning'

1.Who can take part?  - Anybody can join in

2. Why take part?

•  Changing attitudes to learning and work. Positive!

•  Positive perceptions at business and individual levels

•  Stimulating and collating feedback, ideas and perspectives that inform future planning

•  Drawing on employees own knowledge, passions and interests to create engaging activities well as, wider sharing and collaboration in the workplace

•  Greater recognition and an understanding of different ways to learn in the workplace

•  Encouraging a broader perspective on how learning and development happens and how    employees can take advantage of new ways to learn – from traditional classroom based training through social media, to team meets for generating and sharing learning

•  Bringing employees from different parts of the business together or partner organizations in to learn from each other, sharing best practice.

3.What opportunities does it provide?

Learning at Work Week is not prescriptive in terms of what you can do and how you should use it, instead it provides ideas and inspiration.  Whether you want to develop new skills to aid your mindset or challenge yourself, the decision is yours.

 Greater awareness of learning, motivation, engagement which all enhances our work environment.

My input to Learning Week, focuses on IT skills, predominantly the top 5 UK apps. This is just to give an awareness of what they are used for. For example, if your daughter, son or grandchildren talk about them, you will know what Snapchat or Tumblr are.
I will be in Colchester on Tuesday afternoon, Basildon on Thursday am and Hadleigh Thursday pm. 

4.WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEARN?

Learning opens doors and makes us more informed, sometimes things we don't know hold us back.  Why not ask questions and explore options regarding your own learning experiences.
