Learn New Skills
30/11/2006
Did you know that you can learn new skills and ways to boost your confidence?
A new scheme - the Learning Equals Partnership - is offering free training to residents of seven Midlands housing associations and local councils, to help them play a bigger role in improving the services they receive from their landlord.
The training is provided in a variety of locations by PEP – a national not-for profit organisation. They are running sessions for residents on a variety of topics over the coming months, including: How to help residents’ groups stay focused & Opportunities for resident involvement.
One EMH resident who has already taken part in the training is Martyn Jones, chair of the Milton Court Residents’ Association in Mansfield, who attended a session on communication between staff and service users. He said: “It was extremely informative and very down -to-earth, we learned a lot from it.”
