Plum Personnel has joined forces with Solihull College to offer a high-speed keyboarding course that improves job prospects as well as improving the skills of employees.

Susie Ankrett (pictured left), director of Plum Personnel, said: “We have worked with Solihull College for a number of years. This latest e-Type initiative is a real way to help people improve their career and employment prospects. It also offers employers a training course of real value; it’s a real win-win opportunity for both employers and individuals alike.”

The courseware for the new e-Type course is available on a memory stick, so learning can be undertaken at home or at work at a pace which suits the individual. Andrew Knight (pictured right), the course tutor at Solihull College, said: “This course delivers the skills that employers really need. After 10 hours of training an individual can expect to be using the keyboard more efficiently and after another few hours they can expect a further 25-30% increase in speed.”
