Borders College offers free business skills course online
Training in Digital Marketing and Leadership is being offered as part of a pioneering new programme to support the economic recovery of establishments within the tourism, hospitality and events sectors in Scotland.
The virtual learning sessions are the result of a partnership between two of Scotland’s leading further education providers, Borders College and Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC).
The THE (Tourism, Hospitality & Events) Business Skills Programme will start on April 26 and will assist in developing the practical skillsets of owners, managers and supervisors for a post-Covid workforce.
The course is made up of eight units and is being offered FREE to anyone applying for this new opportunity, which will also assist the career progression of customer-facing staff who are employed or have aspirations for employment within the wider visitor economy sector.
Participants will have the opportunity to undertake one or both of the online training units in Digital Marketing and Leadership.
The remaining units will be offered from the autumn onwards.
All learning will be delivered online, allowing candidates to study at a time that suits them and their employers. Online sessions will be for roughly three hours per week with total learning hours of around six hours per week.
So, if you are a supervisor or manager within the visitor economy sector, this is the ideal opportunity to refresh your training and education by increasing your micro-credentials with this unique partnership course.
