The need for personalised learning

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. They also wanted to deliver an engaging onboarding experience right from day one, proving the need for a digital solution to get new staff up to speed – and fast.

‍

After careful consideration of the market, they chose Thrive to supply them with a modern-day LMS individually tailored to their 1,200 learners. 

Transforming compliance

In 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. 

A relevant and inclusive induction

Since Thrive has been deeply ingrained within the College, the impact and results have been impressive:

• 165,000 content views
• 90% platform adoption rate
  ‍

And with nearly 100% of learners completing crucial topics such as Safeguarding, Middlesbrough College can confidently assert they have achieved compliance goals. Natalie James, Workforce Development at Middlesbrough College, commented: “The induction process has become super relevant and inclusive for all people that Join Middlesbrough.”
