TRAINING AND EVENTS

The Workplace Basic Skills Network, in partnership with Lancashire LSC, is running a series of free half-day workshops throughout March that are aimed at anyone working in adult learning in the North West.

Places are limited so try to book as soon as possible. For more information, visit the website below.

Please find attached an invitation and booking form for the BBC @Work workshops taking place in the North West in March. Anyone interested in attending should fill out and return the form as indicated.

If you are not interested in attending but you know of Employers, Workplace Trainers, Basic Skills Tutors etc that you think might find this work-shop interesting and useful, please feel free to forward on the invitation.

Unfortunately because of limited space allocations will be made on a first come first served basis, and because of capacity, unfortunately there is initially a limit of two places per organisation, hopefully attendees can feedback to their colleagues.

However, if the workshops are full, there will be a waiting list in case any spaces become available at a later date, and also the work pack will be available for interested parties to order and use outside of the workshops. If you gain a place you will be sent a confirmation email or letter and further venue details.

This event will include:

• a review ofGMPDU activitycarried out to date
• an outline of planned GMPDU activities up to the 31 August 2005
• feedback from the NWPDP project evaluation and future project plans

We feel that this event will give you a flavour of the broad range of activity we have been involved with and provide an opportunity to highlight areas of success.

To inidcate that you would like a place at this event, please send an email to Sharon Benjamin at the Unit.
