How do I get training?
As of April 2021, staff will be supported by their peer to identify their training needs in relation to their wider professional and personal goals.
For now, there are two main ways to get training - either find a training yourself or tell a relevant colleague/circle that you would like some training, if it’s something they could arrange or skill share. The People Circle is in charge of overseeing the training needs of the organisation, so they’re a good place to start. Sometimes we may arrange training for all staff.
Once you’ve identified an external training you’d like to do, check if you have the training budget to access it (see below).

Post on loomio or let colleagues know in advance.
