Learning at Work Week takes place from 5 to 11 October and this year the theme is 'Learning Journeys'. Learning at Work Week is about building a learning culture and to support that we have put together a series of virtual sessions intended to inspire you, encourage you to learn more about a particular subject, approach an issue at work differently or make you think about your own approach to learning and development. There is something of interest for everyone - you can attend one session or as many as you like!
The sessions are available to book on Eventbrite and cover the following areas:
Leadership Learning Journey
Hear Arlene Sugden from DWP talk about her 'learning journey' into senior leadership.
Tuesday 6 October 10.30am to 11.00am - Leadership Learning Journey
ACAS Managing Employee Attendance
ACAS leads a session on managing attendance, of particular interest to managers and highly relevant to the current situation when more colleagues are working remotely and flexibly.
Tuesday 6 October 2.00pm to 3.30pm - Managing Employee Attendance
Civil Service Local and You
We guarantee you will leave this session feeling inspired, excited and proud! You will hear from colleagues who lead 3 amazing initiatives with Civil Service Local; the first is based in Blackpool and Cumbria and supports the economic recovery in specific areas impacted by Covid-19, the second is a project in Liverpool where in partnership with a secondary school we develop and deliver skills based training and the third is an initiative that supports AA/AO grades with flexible working patterns to develop and progress their careers.

Hi, Will these virtual sessions be available after the events? I would like to join a couple but my working hours wouldn’t allow it. Thanks.

Will these courses be recorded and made available. I have diary commitments so can't make those I'd like to attend. It would be great if they could be made available for people to view at a convenient time.

Hi
I had issues accessing the Personal Statement & Interview Techniques session yesterday. Do you know whether the session was being recorded and will be sent out to all delegates who had an e-ticket?
Thanks.
