We are drawing up our timetable for course development and we need help.
The people who can tell us most about what training they need are our blog readers – YOU
So we have drawn up a short survey
More details of each course are below
| Course name | Brief details |
| How to find a job | Very relevant in the current climate, Would cover job boards, dealing with recruitment consultants, networking sites (twitter/facebook)etc |
| How to shine at a telephone interview | More and more companies are using telephone interviews as an initial screening tool. A telephone interview requires different skills to a face-to-face interview, which this course would cover. |
| How to excel at assessment centres | Many people will not have been through an assessment centre. This course would cover what to expect and how to stand out (for the right reasons) during the exercises. |
| How to recruit (without using a recruitment consultant) | This course would show companies how to recruit good quality candidates at a low cost. Aimed at managers, this course could save you |
| How to have an awkward conversation | This is a skill that all managers need but very few have. Without being able to deal with awkward issues managers will find that problems escalate. |
| Coaching skills for managers | All managers should be able coach their staff i.e. help them find out how to solve problems, rather than just tell them what to do. |
| Listening Skills for managers | Feedback from staff is always overwhelmingly that they want their managers to listen more. |
| Questioning Skills | All employees need to understand how to question to get to the nub of a problem. |
| Getting a job after graduation | A large number of graduates are entering a very difficult job market. |
| Take control of your own development | Individuals need to understand the importance of their own development. This course would suggest ways of doing this without having to go on a 3 day training course. Companies would find this attractive as training budgets are being cut at present. |
| Manage your manager | This course would how individuals how they can get good quality work, development etc by handling their manager carefully |
| Creativity in the workplace | In the current climate companies are expecting individuals to add more value. This course would cover tools and techniques that everyone can use to develop a more innovative approach to work |
| Event Management | Many people think events just happen. This course will take would be event managers through all aspects of the process from planning to "wash up" |
| English as a foreign language | |
| Enforcement management | All aspects of the enforcement process from the Human Rights Act to actually collecting the money/making the enforcement |
| Cultural differences in communication | The world is getting smaller and "virtual teams" are commonplace. The teams may all speak english but they may be very different otherwise… |
