Training Origination

Does your organisation require training? Are you having problems finding suitable training?

Increasingly, the value of training is being recognised. As a learning organisation and long time champions of training, CAN embraces this long overdue change in attitude. The reasons for accessing training vary. Quality training offers opportunities for:

Addressing skills or knowledge gaps
Member development
Staff development
Organisational development of the enterprise or organisation
Increased productivity
Meeting funding output requirements
Achievement of aims or mission statement
Empowerment of the trainees

This in turn presents opportunities to:

Increase your market share
Increase worker retention
Save your business money!!

As a result, social economy organisations and "mainstream" businesses now frequently allocate a budget to provide training. However, this budget often remains unspent due to a lack of suitable training availability, thus failing to realise these benefits.

CAN will develop training to address your needs.

CAN provides

Training Needs Analysis
Customised Training Programme Development to your needs
Training plans for trainees
Delivery plans for trainers
Development and production of relevant training materials and case studies
Advice on accessing suitable trainers for delivery post-development

All carried out according to the financial or output requirements of the customer

Based upon

Working Examples

CAN developed modules for the DTI funded "Training For Growth" programme which provided business training for a group of co-operative enterprises facing up to the challenge of expansion. This work for Southampton Area CDA was followed by a request to develop materials for the transnational Euro-funded "SEED" programme which provided business training for disabled people wishing to establish a business.

For Tower Hamlets CDA and HARCA, CAN developed a 12 module training course for residents of the Aberfeldy estate in East London. The basic business course is an important component of the area's community regeneration programme.
