Learn about the new way to register learners

We know that many organisations have found it difficult to register learners on the Be Connected Learning Portal, and so have struggled to meet the learner registration targets associated with their grants. We also know from feedback that many of you are supporting learners who are not registered.

To address this challenge we have come up with a new tool that you can use to capture those learners who do not yet have the digital skills to register, do not have an email address or who are unwilling to provide this information on the Be Connected Learning Portal. The tool we use to do this is called ‘CaptureIT’.

In this session we aim to look at different features of CaptureIT, how to register learners on it, what are the benefits of using this tool etc.

Reach more people in your community

This one hour webinar will introduce Network Partners to some simple yet effective ways for you to promote your Be Connected program and reach as many people in your community as possible.

We will run through marketing approaches such as:

• Developing a basic marketing plan
• What you can do locally to spread the word of your program
• How you can use online platforms such as social media to increase your reach
• How your learners can help you raise the profile of your organisation

As always we'll allow time for discussion at the end, so bring along any questions or examples of what might have worked for you at your organisation.

This webinar will help organisations like yours to understand more about the Be Connected program and the benefits of joining the network. Participants will be able to:

• Meet Good Things Foundation and understand our vision
• Learn about the benefits of Be Connected and joining the network
• Understand the grants available and funding opportunities
