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

The learning hub helps local employees build useful skills, improve how they work, and support the success of businesses in Hinckley. 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. Building confidence, gaining new qualifications, and boosting career prospects.

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.

“Employees can choose from a wide range of subjects from retail management, customer service to Microsoft Excel and project management,” said Helen Crouch, Hinckley BID Manager. “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.”

Joanna Nash, Chief Learning Officer at SEEDL, added: “We’re thrilled to partner with HBBC and Hinckley BID to support town centre economies. This initiative will help businesses retain staff and attract new talent by offering meaningful learning opportunities. We’re also introducing mental wellness sessions – a highly requested addition based on our research.”

The learning hub is now live, and local businesses can now register their employees for free access (seedl.com)
