The team at the Co-op College have just unveiled a new range of online courses, designed to help the movement make progress during the Covid-19 crisis.
“It’s never been more important to keep co-operating and share knowledge, enabling us all to move forwards together,” the organisation says on its website.
“We’ve got the tools that you and your organisation need to ensure you build back better. As always, we’re looking to do everything we can to help.
“That’s why we’ve spent time listening to what you need, developing and refining our training to ensure that it’s relevant, dynamic and innovative.”
The courses, released for Co-op Fortnight, use interactive tech for phone and tablet and include a taster version of the College’s Values and Principles course.
