“Customers love taking part in training at Cornerstone, the high quality of the venue space mirrors the quality of the training. In 2022-23 the customer training team delivered 131 sessions spanning the themes of Employment, Health & Wellbeing and Community. Our ethos is, training is always more than just attending the session, it’s clear in many cases to map the unmistakeable difference that occurs in customers when they learn something new, meet new people and challenging themselves.  Our ambition is to give our customers the skills and knowledge they need, to improve their own lives. Each quarter a new programme is created and presented to customers, and we never repeat a schedule. This ensures a fresh diverse array of sessions is always on offer to keep customers engaged in the concept of learning. Our provision is unique in its flexibility and funding. Courses are varied in relation to content, focus and time commitment. Many courses are short, one day or a half day and we provide longer courses where customers can develop a suite of skills. Our commitment to fund free customer training ensures learners can pick and choose their sessions with no financial cost or concerns around penalties for non-attendance. This is key to our customer group.”
