The unprecedent change brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic has left businesses overwhelmed with restrictive mitigation measures put in place, the challenges to minimise risk for consumers and employees alike, and the ever-increasing expectations. But as companies adapt quickly to keep up, training and learning remain essential. 21 Academy is geared up to assist you in gaining the knowledge and skills you require to ensure that your business remains relevant and competitive.
21 Academy, is a licensed educational institution, founded by lawyer and director Dr Roselyn Borg and Director Angelito Sciberras. The academy offers a wide range of accredited and non-accredited courses in various fields, tailored to the specific needs of participants. The group of tutors working within the academy bring to the table years of expertise and knowledge and can apply subject matters to real-life cases which they have encountered throughout their careers.
The COVID-19 situation has not stopped 21 Academy from providing its services, rather, the academy strengthened its forces to be able to assist businesses in the unanticipated moves that they had to take in a rapid manner. “We very quickly shifted our operations and courses online and continued to provide clients with ongoing advice and support,” explains Dr Roselyn Borg.
“We also took the initiative to provide a number of free online webinars, providing guidance to businesses on how to deal effectively with changes brought about by the pandemic, be it to human resources, operations or communication strategies. The webinars dealt with issues of redundancies, minimising risk at the place of work and dealing with the ‘new normal’. Others were focused on helping companies become more knowledgeable on matters of law compliance and industrial relations.” The next webinar 21 Academy has planned will delve into the Employment and Industrial Relations Act and is going to be held on the 28th May 2020. In these unprecedented times we often talk about employment law without actually knowing the legal provisions being referred to and this webinar will that ensure we know what is being referred to.
21 Academy does not only provide training to employers, but also employees, helping them to be made aware of their rights within the workplace and to improve required skills such as CV Writing.
