Asda

 

Norfolk Project  

Focus and Develop learning at 

ASDA Gt Yarmouth

Mel Bean is the ULR at ASDA Gt Yarmouth. Recently she conducted some surveys and talked to work colleagues about learning interests. There seems to be a real buzz and enthusiasm from all employees from Gt Yarmouth site.

Support from the Store Manager has been difficult, but despite this Mel has been doing a cracking job.

Hopefully in 2006 attitudes will change and the employer will see how positive working with rather than against Trade Unions can be.

ASDA employees are finally getting photo exposure to learning thanks to the GMB Union. It has taken some 18 months to get the first course up and running with lots more planned for 2006. In Nov and Dec several taster sessions on Digital Photography with IT were organised and was a fantastic success. Every session saw lots of smiling faces and it was difficult to get them off home, even after the courses had finished.

Steve Walker the GMB Union Project Co-ordinator has designed this course specifically to break down some of the barriers adults have with learning.

The aim of this course is to quite simply have a lot of fun and to support those that had very little experience of using IT or Digital Photography. For dozens of learners this course has been the platform that has launched them on to a new journey for learning.

In the New Year about 20 other ASDA employees will be starting a 10 week Writing with Computers course with many more to follow throughout 2006.
