The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity has launched its new e-learning programme online, here, aimed at “spreading some extra love and support within the construction industry”. The charity’s Wellbeing Academy already offers online tutor-led masterclasses, seminars and on-site training, but this latest addition is aimed at equipping people with the soft skills they need to navigate today’s challenges and uncertain times.
The free, self-paced e-learning modules include ‘Bang on Budget’, ‘Banter vs Bullying’, ‘Managing Stress’, ‘Resolving Conflict’, ‘Understanding Anxiety’ and ‘Work Life Balance’. Each of the e-learning modules are delivered at two levels: the first is an introduction to the subject, key topic areas and language. Level 2 presents scenarios to help demonstrate understanding, apply skills and use logical reasoning to master problems.
Sarah Bolton, director of charitable services for the charity said: “The very nature of our industry means that fitting a set training schedule around work and home life commitments doesn’t work for everyone. Our self-paced e-learning addresses that problem. Studies also show that this style of learning means people are more likely to retain knowledge on new subjects and therefore will feel more confident in applying those skills in real life.”
