Training Matchmaker Launches Northern Ireland Learning Challenge
As people across Northern Ireland are fledgling on their New Year’s Resolutions an online learning and training platform has set the “Learn 31 New Things In January” challenge.
TrainingMatchmaker.com, founded by Belfast marketer Christine Watson, has launched it’s #LearnuaryNI campaign encouraging people to share one thing they’ve learned or can teach to others each day.
Research states that January is more often than not the most depressing month of the year. Not just that, it’s also the one month every year where most people try to change their lives for the better. From New Year’s resolutions about health, wellbeing and career choices to pledges of sobriety, ambition and learning, Christine believes January is the perfect month for people to “try something new”.
Her company TrainingMatchmaker.com offers trainers and learners a place to congregate, to search for and list training opportunities across Northern Ireland and beyond.
She said: “We’re really excited about our TrainingMatchmaker.com soft launch this month and #LearnuaryNI is the perfect opportunity for people to take the plunge and think about what they want to learn or teach in 2018.
“We’re encouraging people to join the conversation on social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat. Whether people are making observations about their day and what they have learned along the way or whether they are offering snippets of learning from their online training courses or face to face workshops we hope they will use our #LearnuaryNI hashtag to inspire others taking part in the campaign either as learners, educators or spectators.”
She added: “Don’t panic if you aren’t ready for January 1st or can’t commit to a daily learning or teaching. The campaign will run until February 14 to give people the opportunity to share 31 individual posts.”
