‘Nottinghamshire Champions Learning’
Community Learning Champions
Do you enjoy helping people to learn something new? If the answer is ’YES’, developing your skills as a Community Learning Champion could be an exciting challenge for 2010!
What do Community Learning Champions do?
· signpost people to the local learning opportunities that suit their needs
· introduce people to learning providers, sometimes accompanying them to a course to ‘get started’ and support people through a course
· help to set up new learning opportunities, filling any gaps in what’s on offer
· feedback any comments made by learners to learning providers.
Full training and expenses will be provided and all Community Learning Champions will have their own local mentor to support them.
Who can be a Community Learning Champion?
Anyone – you just need to be able to speak from personal experience about the difference learning has made to your quality of life or job prospects.
To find out more about becoming a Community Learning Champion, please contact: Helen Goldsbrough on 01909 535556 or email helen.goldsbrough@nottscc.gov.uk
