Welcome to the Training Zone community.
TrainingZone is the UK's leading independent community of people who work in the world of learning and development. We are an enthusiastic and engaged community of professionals who use this site to: learn from our peers via the
Any Answers forum; read the latest opinion and discourse from a wide variety of thought leaders at the coalface of L&D; and opinionate and ruminate on a wide variety of subjects through the
blogs section. And that's really just the tip of the iceberg - have a look around and see how useful the site can be for you.
It's a new year, and a whole bunch of new features for you here on site. January's theme is New Technologies, so look out for articles about the future of training, learning and development. We've had a lot of new bloggers join in the debate recently so visit the blogs to read the latest from the new members of our blogosphere. Of course there will be details of our next free webinar coming soon as well.
And remember, if you have a training event or awards ceremony that you would like listed, just get in touch at
editor@trainingzone.co.uk
Regular features like the caption competition and book club will carry on of course, so keep your peepers peeled for them too.
Kind regards,
Jon Kennard
Editor
