business.connected Launches 30 New E-Learning Modules

Discover new e-learning to boost your digital skills.

Earlier this year, we extended our business.connected programme, in partnership with Enterprise Nation, for a further three years. Our aim is to help 800,000 small businesses upskill digitally and take their operations to the next level through our free workshops, tools and training.

We’re now pleased to announce that business.connected has just launched 30 new and completely free e-earning modules. Covering a huge range of subjects such as collaboration, e-commerce, cyber security, connectivity, customer relationship management, marketing, digital finances and productivity, these bitesize e-learning modules are a great way for small businesses to boost their digital skills.

Business.connected is supported by additional partners Samsung Electronics UK, Sage (UK) and Zym, and the new e-learning is designed to benefit both those just starting on their business journey, as well as those building on existing experience.
