Lawpack's new guide to workplace training opportunities and support finance available in the UK

A timely life-changing new book from Lawpack called Learn More Earn More cuts through the maze of uncoordinated vocational and academic training opportunities and support grants, and offers clear steps for anyone - whether or not they are in employment at the moment - to develop new skills to improve their earning potential and quality of life.

The profile of learning and skill development has been raised significantly recently. Vocational qualifications are now being offered by large employers such as McDonalds, and high profile initiatives like Train to Gain and Edge have been launched. Author Steve Wiseman argues that these training initiatives are just one route amongst many others already available to those in the know.

Learn More Earn More explains exactly what is on offer, how you can access it and what financial support there may be available. It will empower people, and open up the learning and workplace training opportunities that exist - but are not widely promoted - by many employers.

Steve Wiseman, the author, is a graduate in Education and Professional Development and the chief executive of one of the largest Citizens Advice Bureaux in the UK. This is his seventh consumer publication and one that he feels passionate about.

He comments: "This is a book for people who feel that they are at a crossroads in life. It's for those who would like to make a change or simply move on, those who feel they are stuck in a rut, or who are concerned about future job loss due to a forecast downturn in the economy."

He continues: "The great problem people face is that they are not sure which direction to take. They are confused and ignorant of possibilities or feel that they don't have the ability, time or money to study. Often they are scared to try something new because they think that it will be a leap in the dark. I wrote this book to guide people through the maze, to help them take stock and consider realistic options for learning new skills."
