!*FIRSTNAME*!
A bumper start to 2009.
TrainerBase seems to have got off to a bumper start this year. A
total of 17 opportunities were posted last week and reports have come
into the office that members have been contacted direct by purchasers.
As a member said last week whilst trying to find a space in their diary
"What recession".
All that said, the economic climate is having an impact on some
sectors and will, because of lower employment, result in some reduction
in training.
How are things going for you: we are running a couple of Straw Polls
to get a snap shot of the effect in the training sector.
Will training be ditched as a cost cutting measure as has happened in
previous recessions, or will the 'knowledge economy' require 'knowledge
maintenance and development' to continue?
Regards
Peter

The following
have been posted on the site in the past
week or so:
Please do be aware that some opportunities are posted and then
removed before they appear in the weekly update. It is advisable to
check the site periodically as I do not always send out alerts. If you know of a friend who would be interested in any of the
opportunities posted on the site, please feel free to forward them this
email (not give them details of the opportunities) and ask them to use
this referral code when joining the site: - TB21!*USERID*!07. You will
be rewarded for referring the friend.
When considering applying for an opportunity, members should check
the requirements including; Subject, Sector Skills and Level Experience.
If you do not match the requirement you should not apply for the
opportunity, this practice is becoming very unpopular amongst purchasers
and other trainers.
If you are interested in using this facility as a way of sourcing
independent contractors but are not sure about the best way to approach
it, please feel free to email
info@trainerbase.co.uk.
Notice:
Opportunities are restricted information for subscribers only and
must not be distributed to non paying members or associate groups.

Who are they and what do they do??
If you are looking for Trainers, do you want to feel confident that
whoever you hire can actually deliver the programme you require? A
Certified Learning Practitioner will give you that confidence.
And if you're a Trainer, do you want prospective clients to
immediately have that same confidence in you? Become a Certified
Learning Practitioner and they will.
Want to know more about CLP? Here's your chance………
TrainerBase is holding a number of one day workshops in the near
future where
all aspects of CLP will be explained, both from the standpoint of hiring
one, or becoming one. The next event is:
- Saturday 24th January 2009:
De Vere Venues, Staverton Park, Daventry Road, Staverton, Daventry,
Northamptonshire, NN11 6JT. Northampton and Rugby main line stations
are both approximately 12 miles away.
Bring business cards with you as these
days are becoming positive networking events.

- Change Management, Sales, Management Development, Customer services
skills and Leadership, are the top searched for subject in
the past 28 days. A total of 157 different subjects were searched for.
- And what are the top keyword searches being used in the
general Search filed on the site: well here they are: export, tna, kolb,
opportunities, proposal, presentation skills, training needs analysis,
open questions, coaching, assertiveness, communication, pdp, train the
trainer, nebosh, time management, mpls, excel, invoices, management,
sample invoice. So when was the last time you checked your Keywords in Edit
Profile, to ensure you are being found? And how many of you have your
name in your keywords?? I advise you to add it as this search facility
is being used to find individuals and it does not currently check any
other attributes other than the keywords field.
TrainerBase has started a major marketing
campaign to raise the profile of CLP amongst the 1,000+ purchasers listed as
wanting to be kept up to date with the Association. TrainerBase is also
actively seeking requests for recommendations within various digests and
online communities. And we are now receiving up to a dozen phone calls or
email requests a week for trainers or recommendations.
If you would like to be
part of these campaigns please
sign up to the CLP accreditation.
