Prospect | Bectu Member Courses Welcome to this collaborative learning initiative. You have the opportunity to sign up to four online workshops aimed at helping improve the quality of your conversations and interactions with fellow union members and reps, along with building and maintaining relationships in your wider working and personal lives. This is the second set of training sessions in this series and they will be running in early 2023. Last year's sessions booked up very quickly, so don't delay in booking as soon as you can. The dates and other details are below. How it works Signing up to a workshop Have your say How it works These workshops are led by a Co-operative College tutor and will be delivered in 'blended' form consisting of either a 90-minute or an 'express' 60-minute Zoom session with extra online content. Alongside the 'face-to-face' training, there will be some supporting materials and tasks on our learning management system (LMS), where you will be able to view videos and interact with your colleagues. All of the training will involve your participation and collaboration is encouraged. Both courses cover the same learning objectives, but the 60-minute 'express' course requires more self-paced learning online.When you register for a course, you will be enrolled on our LMS 'LearnWorlds' which will have links to all course content, including the Zoom links. Once you have successfully completed your course, you will be able to download a Co-operative College e-certificate from LearnWorlds for that course. Signing up for a workshop Signing up for a workshop is via the Eventbrite platform by selecting your chosen date - see below. Workshops are repeated over a three-week period, so we recommend spacing out your attendance if possible. This will ensure you have enough review and reflection time to really make the most of each workshop’s learning. Please make sure you cancel any workshop if you find you can no longer attend. Bookings will be closed five working days before the event. Have your say: Help us improve our programme When you enrol onto one of these courses, you will be enrolled into LearnWorlds, where you will be invited to provide some anonymous equality and diversity data. It’s up to you whether you fill this out – but it really helps us understand the reach and engagement of each of our workshops. At the end of each workshop, you will also be asked to complete a brief post-course evaluation feedback form, to let us know about your experience. Once this is completed, you will be able to download your certificate from LearnWorlds. Please allow two to three minutes to complete the survey. Your feedback will help inform what we do and how we operate in the future. Workshop descriptions and dates/times Workshop list Making meetings work for all. Building confidence in the workplace.
