Adult Learners Week

Improve IT Skills for Learning at Work Day 2007

Southampton (UK), May 2007 - Many organisations have staff who are underperforming because of a lack of IT skills. Elearning could be the answer to developing these missing skills. As part of the national Learning at Work Day Campaign, Jenison, a UK publisher of online IT and management courses, is offering employers who want to take part in this inspirational campaign unlimited free access to try their interactive IT courses.




Jenison's trial scheme is being run as part of the Learning at Work Day initiative to be held on 24th May, organised by the workplace-learning charity the Campaign for Learning. The day itself forms part of Adult Learners Week and is designed to work as a -˜hook' to draw people and organisations into workplace learning who might not otherwise have been involved. In order to link in to the well-publicised Adult Learning Week and give companies time to try the courseware extensively, the free access is being offered for the whole week from 21st to 25th May, rather than just Learning at Work Day.

Steve Soper, Jenison's Managing Director is enthusiastic about the campaign: -œThe Learning at Work Day initiative is a great way for organisations to raise the profile of training, and Jenison are pleased to be able to offer our scheme to give people a taster of how online learning could work for them-.


A complete solution for online IT and management training needs is provided by Jenison through its comprehensive, ready to use, courseware, which covers the entire range of Microsoft Office programmes and the European Computer Driving Licence. Its Impetus Plus IT range has been designed to support managers and staff at all levels in their use of desktop applications. With online learning, your staff will be able to fit learning around their work commitments and improve both their capabilities and their promotional chances.

The self-paced simulation environment developed by Jenison with the Impetus Plus range provides engaging courses that enable learners to -˜learn by doing'. The enriching learning experience enables them to practice the techniques they are learning, as well as to reply to assessment questions that help them check their understanding.
