Get involved with Learning at Work Week

Learning at Work Week takes place during 13-18 May and is promoted by the Campaign for Learning. 

The Campaign supports lifelong learning, which is likely to make us healthier, happier, longer living and wealthier. We benefit as individuals, but it also has wide ranging and immeasurable benefits for our families and communities, our working lives, society and the economy. 

Learning at Work week is an annual event and this year's theme is 'Shaping the Future'.

"Everything we do at the Network – from training courses to business lectures, newsletters to job fairs – is about learning and sharing,” says Sarah Gleadell, Learning Collaboration Manager. “In fact, Learning at Work week is something we feel strongly about. With the amazing work Cambridge organisations do with L&D, we want to celebrate it and encourage our members to get involved.”

Places are limited on many of these courses and workshops so please get in touch with Sara on learning@cambridgenetwork.co.uk for the latest availability and to save your place.
