Every week, we ask our learners one question that provokes thought... It may be about their current situation at home, at work on in their education programme. This weeks question is
Can you describe what new learning or skills you have gained, and how can you use it in your workplace, or to progress to employment?
Discuss your answer with your tutor/assessor at your next session!
The following generic information is relevant for all of our learners, regardless of the qualification, or programme that you are registered on.
This is the place that our learners come to for support. This is YOUR space!
We fill this space with any resources or tools that we feel will help you in your course, career and beyond. The content that you find here is content that we believe is important for you to succeed confidently, but isn't likely to be covered within your course content (with the odd exception 😉).
You will find content such as digital skills, tutorials on the tools that you might need to use in your sessions, such as Onefile, google classroom and manage assess... What we need from you is FEEDBACK! We need to know what you want to learn, are our monthly updates helpful? Are they interesting, or have they helped you progress quickly? We can build our community to help you be the best version of you! All you need to do is keep engaging with us.
Happy hubbing STCer's 😀
