Skills at Breakfast in Great Yarmouth At our Business Breakfast in Great Yarmouth on 3rd May we not only heard about Skills for Growth but also saw them in action in the Ambitions Restaurant at Great Yarmouth College. Penny Wycherley, Principal at the college spoke about how they aim to raise the aspirations of the people of Great Yarmouth area to achieve their potential. Work based learning is a key part of Great Yarmouth College and the Ambitions restaurant is a key way that students can learn in a real working environment. The Chamber delegates were served a delicious breakfast by students at the college as part of their learning. We then heard from Gary Williams, Director of E-tech Group who reiterated the importance of skills and training for the employer’s perspective. He gave the example of his own company in which there are far more older employees than younger which means that there are not enough young employees to fill the jobs as more people retire. He talked about the many benefits of training such as increasing profits, improving customer service, enhancing productivity, reducing costs and getting fresh ideas which is very thought provoking for all companies. Our next business breakfast is on 30th May at Norwich City Football Club. To book a place or for more information, contact our events team on 01603 625977 or [email protected]
We spend a lifetime learning, but when was the last time we stopped to think about how we learn? You might be surprised about how much of our natural learning ability is unwittingly damaged or suppressed by the very educational system that was designed to ‘teach’ us. In this fascinating introductory workshop run by Carl Hammond of TIPS for Good Management, we will reveal how to deliver “Brain Friendly” Training that sticks! Including; memory techniques, training games and those things that influence our sensory perceptions. This highly interactive session will feature many tips and techniques TIPS have developed over the years and use in our every day to day training and development and which also helped us to win a UK National Training Award, two years on the bounce! Believe it or not, all of these fun and engaging methods do serve a purpose as they hold the key to really unlocking the hidden learning potential of you and your people. As a result, you and your learners will absorb more and retain information far longer when you use these ideas. We will show you different ways to engage the human brain to create a more natural way to learn but most importantly have fun at the same time! 3 top tips you’ll walk away with:
