Tribal’s digital learning in the news!

I woke up this morning to see some of our online learning featuring on the BBC news! Apparently we were on the 10 o’clock news on BBC1 last night as well.

Cool – ands nice to be loved :-)

It was part of a piece on employers being worried about the basic skills of their staff, especially young people coming out of school with insufficient skills. They did a full feature on one of our clients, Sainsbury’s, and what they are doing to offer classes to their staff.

They use our full Target Skills Gold suite of Skills for Life resources, as well as our Advance platform for managing remote tutoring and support.clip_image001

The video shows some of our work, including a learner part-way through our Initial Assessment adaptive test.

(When I say “part way”, it looks like they are on the very early screening pages that help identify any major dyslexia issues, or other fairly fundamental literacy issues).
