New year, new skills?

Start the new year by learning new skills! Cambridge Network's Learning Collaboration January calendar includes courses to help you learn to present with confidence, and to master project management.

 

Introduction to Presentation Skills on 20 January at PA Consulting (Cambridge Technology Centre, Melbourn HERTS SG8 6DP) is a one-day workshop designed for individuals who have little or no experience of presenting. The workshop provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to practise skills and gain confidence in their presentation ability.

By the end of the day, you will be able to prepare, create and deliver a presentation with confidence.

Another one day workshop, Introduction to Project Management on 27 January, is aimed at people who want to understand the fundamental principles of project working, typically team members with some elements of project management in their day-to-day role or for those who regularly participate in project teams. It assumes little previous project management knowledge.

Taking place at the Citrix Building (101 Cambridge Science Park, Milton Road Cambridge CB4 0FY), the course covers an introduction to project management, project life cycles, initiating and identifying the scope of a project, defining needs of stakeholders, developing a business case, creating a project and communications plan and establishing key success factors.

The workshop also covers the key roles of project team members, managing expectations of stakeholders (client) and others, whilst engaging motivations to deliver according to your plan. It will introduce some monitoring tools and techniques for project team meetings, managing change during a project and how to report on progress.
