Businesses across Hinckley and Bosworth gain access to a new Learning Hub

"Employees can choose from a wide range of subjects from retail management, customer service to Microsoft Excel and project management."

Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council (HBBC) and Hinckley BID have launched a new business learning hub.

It will help local employees build useful skills and improve how they work.

Those taking part will be able to access courses anytime, anywhere, whether at home, at work, or on the go. Learn a range of skills and access trainers in real time, ask questions, and participate in discussions.

This initiative offers free, unlimited access to over 200 live courses for employees working in businesses across the borough, including those supported by Hinckley BID.

Council Leader, Cllr Stuart Bray said: “This is a great opportunity for local businesses and their staff to grow and learn new skills. It’s easy to access and can really help improve confidence and performance at work. A great opportunity and I am delighted to say free to access.

Helen Crouch, Hinckley BID Manager, said: “Employees can choose from a wide range of subjects from retail management, customer service to Microsoft Excel and project management. With such a diverse mix of businesses in our borough, this is a fantastic way to meet the learning needs of both retailers and professional services. Every completed course comes with a downloadable certificate, helping staff evidence their personal development.”

This project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
