02 November 2005 - Becta post-16 e-learning conference, Manchester

With two stands at the conference, MKM presented the Retail Academy from one of them as an active and fast-growing example of a sector-specific and cross-organisation workforce development project, innovative in its use of technologies and approach to consortium-building.

As a shareholder in the Retail Academy, MKM has developed new programmes and structures for retail training especially for SME retailers, using a wide variety of delivery methods, including hard copy, e-learning and web-based support. These are innovative and flexible enough to fit into the tight schedules and small time-windows with which many retailers work.

The presentation was well-received, both with regard to its current implementation and with a view to its future use in other sectors.
