St Leger Homes of Doncaster – the organisation that manages around 21,000 homes for Doncaster Council – has signed up to a new training package launched by Housing e-Academy.

It means St Leger Homes’ tenants can access accredited e-learning courses to develop new skills and increase their confidence. Training includes CV writing and interview skills.

Meryl Liddell,  Community Liaison Manager  at St Leger Homes, said: " This is a great opportunity for St Leger Homes to help break down some of the barriers that can stop our tenants from developing new skills.  These courses will be accessible on line, for tenants with internet access at home, in the libraryor at the recently refurbished Tenant Resource Centre ." 

Chloe Weatherhead, Housing e-Academy Manager, added ‘We are really pleased that St Leger Homes has joined us as founder members.  The founder members will work as a co-operative; meeting regularly to share best practice with regards to tenant training and help the Housing e-Academy to develop new e-learning courses.”

The e-learning is additional to a range of courses St Leger Homes already offers to tenants. These cover a wide range of subjects including spreadsheets for beginners; newsletter writing; website design; family finance; ICT; confidence building; internet skills, food safety and much more.
