Dear MCG list members,
At Creating Capacity we know that new is not necessarily better, but we've
come up with something which will allow us to continue to run a sustainable
learning programme beyond 2012. The challenge is that at least 25% of all
the excellent courses we post on the calendar can't ahead. The reasons are
clear:
- Restructuring in the sector has lead to decreased funding for workforce
development
- Restricted training and travel budgets have prevented people from signing
up to some courses in enough numbers to make it a useful and viable session.
Booking and then cancelling courses wastes resources which should be used to
develop the training offer. It also disappoints those who have booked on the
course which doesn't go ahead - and we hate that!
So what's the solution?
A solution to the challenge is to be bold and creative and to put users at
the heart of the decision on which courses should run and when they should
be held.
Here's How it Works in 3 Simple Steps:
1. Go to Creating Capacity's Offer page http://bitly/CC_Offer & review the
courses, you'll find all the digital training sessions you have enjoyed plus
a wide range of others 2. Click on the button to bid for courses you would
like to attend - a counter will tell you if you are the first bidder, or if
you are joining others who have already bid 3. Offer suggestions for courses
which aren't listed by clicking http://bitly/CC_Idea and we'll add them to
the offer page so that others can bid for your great idea too.
Then when 15 people have expressed an interest in a course we'll:
- Contact everyone to find a convenient day to run it
- Confirm the date with the trainer, the venue and prepare the Course
Handbook
- Run the session on the agreed date with at least 10 participants - no more
cancellations!
Users pay for their course only when they have a confirmed date on which it
will run.

http://bit.ly/CC_FAQs for all the details. Our July courses are running as
normal so do look out for them on the online calendar at

With all good wishes
