SkillSoft aims to help make new recruits work ready

Online learning provider, SkillSoft, has introduced a stand alone collection of learning resources designed to help new recruits find their feet when they join an organisation.

Entitled the 'Professional Foundations KnowledgeCentre' the resources aim to help new employees to master a range of self-development, desktop and time management skills. SkillSoft says the content includes online courses, online books and skill simulations organised into learning roadmaps.

The Professional Foundations KnowledgeCentre is one of a series of 20 pre-packaged learning resources. Topics covered include effective presentations, email etiquette, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, coping with change, handling conflict and working in teams.

Kevin Young, managing director at SkillSoft EMEA, said: "The introduction of KnowledgeCentres is a key element in SkillSoft's strategy to strengthen the ability of our learning resources to serve a much broader audience. KnowledgeCentres enable us to support SMEs and micro businesses looking to ensure that both new and existing employees have the core skills they need to be successful - personally and professionally."
