Dear Industry Colleague
Today marks the start of the UK’s official “Learning at Work” Week, which is scheduled to take place 18th -24th May.
Learning at Work Week is a unique annual event to build learning cultures at work. It aims to put a spotlight on the importance and benefits of continual learning and development. The Campaign for Learning is coordinated nationally - designed to help organisations run creative, innovative and inclusive activities as part of their Learning at Work Week campaigns.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, companies are being encouraged to run 'Live - Online’ Learning.
In a bid to mark this event, we are launching a new series of “OCCA Weekly Webinars”, designed to encourage individuals currently working or studying in a ‘Coatings-related’ environment to participate from the comfort of their own homes or workstations.
We want to use this as a catalyst for change, providing a new way of engaging with members and industry associates. Our industry partners can share their business and product developments whilst encouraging participation from a broader audience with the Q&A session at the end of each ‘live’ webinar.
What does it entail?
Once a week, we will be hosting a 30-40 min live web-based platform lecture, with a number of speakers from across the Coatings Industry, followed by a 15 min Q&A session. We plan to run these webinars initially for 10 weeks through May, June & July.
How can you participate?
- Register online for attendance at any or all of the scheduled sessions. We'll contact you with information about the programme of confirmed speakers and topics. You can opt-out at any time.
The series will be offered free of charge for ALL members, Corporate Sponsors and students from our recognised Educational Partners.
Non-members will be offered the unique chance to participate in three of the sessions, in the hope that we might then convince these non-members to sign up for membership of the Association....
All sessions will be recorded and will subsequently be available for download via our Members’ Area of the website. Non-members who attend the initial sessions will be sent a link to download the recorded sessions they have attended.
To kick start the programme, our first two online lectures are as follows:
1) Thursday 21st May at 2.30pm
