Middlesbrough College streamlines onboarding, from day one.

Personalised learning at scale

As the largest college in Teesside with learning at the heart of what they do, Middlesbrough’s main objective when looking for a new learning management system was to create a culture of self-driven learning amongst staff and faculty. After careful consideration of the market, Middlesbrough College chose Thrive to supply them with a modern-day LMS individually tailored to their 1,200 learners.

An onboarding win

With a strong focus on delivering an engaging onboarding experience right from day one, Middlesbrough College wanted a digital solution to get new staff up to speed and fast. Natalie James, Workforce Development at Middlesbrough College, commented:

“The induction process has become super relevant and inclusive for everyone who joins Middlesbrough.”

Transforming compliance training

Since launching Thrive, the team at Middlesbrough College has overhauled their existing induction process and replaced it with interactive pathways. With blended resources and events, the pathways are the perfect way for employees to work through their own learning at their own pace. Furthermore, the college has managed and tracked essential compliance training such as Safeguarding, E&D awareness, Health & Safety and more with total ease, ensuring their auditors have the reporting they need and all employees are up to date.

Results and impact

Since Thrive has been deeply ingrained within the College, the impact and results have been impressive. With 165,000 content views, a remarkable 90% platform adoption rate, and nearly 100% of learners completing crucial topics such as Safeguarding, Middlesbrough College can confidently assert they have achieved compliance goals.

Bringing in Thrive Content

Lastly, Middlesbrough College also embedded Thrive Content, a valuable off-the-shelf content library that provides learners with relevant and practical content on important topics such as equality and diversity, information security, LGBTQ+ awareness, safeguarding, data protection, health and safety, fire safety and more. This comprehensive solution enables Middlesbrough College to bolster their learning pathways and deliver impactful training that truly engages their staff and encourages positive behaviour change.
