Researching British Companies Date: 12 May Speaker: Sylvia James, Consultant This is a new basic level course designed to be a really up to date survey of researching the British corporate sector. It will help give perspective and depth not just to those to those working in information departments in the private sector and the advisory firms, but is also a primer for information staff in the not-for profit organisations, public library reference and in local and regional government. http://www.tfpl.com/skills_development/courses/cd.cfm?linkid=tr765 The US financial and corporate sectors Date: 23 May Speaker: Sylvia James, Consultant This course is designed for business researchers who need a good understanding of Wall Street and the development and structure of US companies as a grounding for their day to day information projects. Wall Street is described as the world's leading international financial and business centre and one of the three major global powerhouses in financial services. The first part of the course focuses on this area and explains how Wall Street has developed and what is happening today. The second part of the course is devoted to an overview of US corporations and how to structure research into US listed and unlisted companies. The course concludes with a review of the major published sources on US companies. http://www.tfpl.com/skills_development/courses/cd.cfm?linkid=tr527 Introduction to business research Date: 26-27 May Speaker: Chris O'Hare, Business Information Centre Manager, Business Gateway Aberdeen Starting work in a corporate information centre, whether as a solo worker or within a team, is daunting if you have no previous experience. It takes many months before you can feel comfortable dealing with clients and answering enquiries. This is mainly due to a lack of understanding of terminology and subjects and a lack of knowledge of information availability and sources. This two day course provides a broad introduction to many areas of business research and is an ideal starter course. http://www.tfpl.com/skills_development/courses/cd.cfm?linkid=tr761 We look forward to welcoming you Amy Millis Training Administrator email: [log in to unmask] tel.: 020 7251 5522 TFPL Ltd 17-18 Britton Street, London, EC1M 5TL Tel + 44 (0)20 7251 5522 Fax + 44 (0)20 7251 8318 Sign up for TFPL job alerts to keep informed of any new exciting opportunities at http://www.tfpl.com/temporary_recruitment/candidates/cjob_alert.cfm http://www.tfpl.com/permanent_recruitment/candidates/pjob_alert.cfm ______________________________________________________________________ Confidentiality Notice This message may contain information and/or attachments private and confidential to TFPL.
