Exploring youth engagement in a digital age
Access to free or heavily discounted training
As a training provider for people working with Young People it is a source of frustration that many are exluded from our training courses due to lack of training budgets. This is particularly so for smaller voluntary sector organisations. Unfortunately as an unfunded, not-for-profit (3rd sector) organisation we are rarely funded to to provide free or subsidized training.
With commissioning, the credit crunch and potential public funding cuts on the horizon this is unlikely to improve in the short term.
Because we still have a commitment to the lesser funded part of the 'Young People's workforce' we have taken a decision, where possible to offer last minute vacancies, on our courses for free or at a discounted rate.
This normally occurs when we have any last minute cancellations. These offers are strictly limited to 'first come first served' and are conditional on being able to attend on that date. They do not apply to any other training unless specifically stated.
Whilst we appreciate it may not always be possible to attend at a couple of days notice, and that not everyone has the geekish tendancies to check their inbox every day, this is the best we can do at the present time within our limited resources.
If you want to be notified of these offers, please join http://lecp-training.ning.com/ as a friend.
Please feel free to pass this on to others who might be interested, although for transport reasons it might be more relevant to people working/living in the London or surrounding areas.

Tony
