New lifelong learning prospectus launched to support healthier, more resilient workforces across County Durham

Wellbeing for Life is encouraging County Durham businesses of all sizes to invest in their employees through a newly updated programme of free health and wellbeing courses, following the launch of its Lifelong Learning Prospectus.

As workplace wellbeing continues to be a priority across all sectors, the initiative gives employers an accessible way to equip staff and managers with skills that contribute to healthier, happier and more productive organisations.

Created to address current workplace challenges and emerging health priorities, the offer provides valuable development opportunities that help individuals and teams build resilience, confidence and positive workplace cultures.

Fully funded by Durham County Council, the learning opportunities are available to anyone living or working in County Durham and include a wide range of accredited and non-accredited qualifications and workshops. Sessions are delivered online, within local communities and directly in workplaces for larger groups.
