A Nantwich training centre is opening its doors to offer free advice as part of “Adult Learners Week”.

Staff at Crewe & Nantwich Pitman Training Centre on Hospital Street will be on hand throughout June 13 to 19.

They will offer guidance on developing skills, getting promotion, planning the next career steps, or looking for a new job, and join in with the celebration of lifelong learning.

They will provide free tasters of Pitman Training courses, advice consultations on career planning, CV writing workshops and recruitment support and advice.

Manager Allan Virr said: “We pride ourselves on being advocates of lifelong learning, and genuinely believe in the opportunities it brings to change and transform lives.

“We ran our open week last year during Adult Learners Week and it was a huge success.

“We saw and inspired hundreds of people from all over the region, of all ages, in many different situations, and helped them discover how lifelong learning can help changes lives.

“Many of our students keep in touch and we’re delighted to hear how they’ve had success with new jobs, promotions and boosting their salaries, as a result of vocational training and taking on new skills.

“Our sessions are very informal and our friendly team has years of experience to share, so people can just come and have a chat.”

Claire Lister, who has headed up Pitman Training Group for 17 years, is now developing an International franchise expansion.

She said: “It’s essential, whatever your position, to continue to develop your skills.

“Whether you’re looking to move on, or keep progressing in your existing role, standing still is not an option these days.

“The corporate world moves so quickly as technology continues to evolve; working practices constantly progress, and new ways of becoming more efficient are always just around the corner.”

Pitman Training has been synonymous with office-based training since Sir Isaac Pitman invented shorthand in 1837.
