Tenant training shortlisted as regional finalist

The Housing e-Academy and Accent Group's Accent Regeneration and Community Partnerships (ARCP) Division, has been shortlisted as a regional finalist in the National Training Awards for their ‘Tenant Plus’ initiative, an e-learning programme designed specifically to encourage engagement from social housing tenants.

The awards are the premier accolade for training and development in the UK and are run by UK Skills on behalf of the department for Business, Innovation and Skills. They identify and celebrate organisations and individuals that have achieved really outstanding business and personal success through investment in training.

Tenant Plus is a bespoke training package designed to deliver basic level awareness tenant training using bite-size modules and self registration, which allowed tenants to study remotely and at their convenience.

Chloe Weatherhead, head of Housing e-Academy at Virtual College said: “We are all really thrilled to have reached the regional finals of these prestigious awards. We are keeping everything crossed that we go that bit further to win.”

The overall winners will be announced on 28 September.
