Connect has been named as one of only 8 international finalists for The Learning Awards 2020 in the Innovation in Learning Award category and one of only 9 international finalists for The Bett Awards 2020 in the Innovator of the Year category.

The prestigious awards showcase organisations that help make a unique contribution to the delivery of learning in the workplace and in the classroom.

Judges look for new and ground-breaking ways of engaging learners, sharing of knowledge, integrating learning and work, and accelerating organisational learning.

With over 28 years’ experience in the education sector, Connect’s team consistently endeavour to make learning engaging and accessible for everyone. They work with partners to deliver tailored solutions to enhance an individual’s learning experience and provide the best opportunities for them to achieve. 

The award-winning role-play platform, C-Live, initially developed for teacher training, using interactive technology to allow participants to get real-time experience of a virtual classroom environment. This greatly help newly graduated teachers by exposing them to life-like classroom dynamics and personalities.  

It has been further developed to include workplace scenarios that develop skills and accelerate learning in Leadership & Management, Customer Service and other real-life settings that employees wouldn’t have the opportunity to experience without being ‘thrown in at the deep end’. Clients include Hilton Hotels, Department of Education and leading Universities who understand that exposure to new or challenging situations in a safe environment is incredibly important. Their employees have time to practice difficult workplace conversations or manage awkward situations without saying or doing the wrong thing for the first time with their colleagues, which greatly benefits their workforce mental health and accelerates career progression.
