Learning and development at Suffolk County Council

When new staff join Suffolk County Council, they are provided with an online account to our learning system, myLearning.

myLearning is managed by the Talent and Skills team who oversee SCC's Corporate learning offer.

Here, staff can find training, activities and resources to support their learning and development needs. This includes a suite of online learning modules and a range of face to face training courses. 

Suffolk County Council is keen to support staff who are interested in learning something new by encouraging them to consider the qualification and development programmes that are available through our apprenticeship schemes.

Apprenticeships are for people of any age and can be completed by existing members of staff alongside their existing role as a way of gaining a qualification or developing new skills.

There are programmes at all levels including up to Degree and Masters level. If your application is approved by your manager, you’ll receive paid time away from your normal work to undertake the training and development that contributes to the achievement of your qualification and be able to have the qualification paid for through our apprenticeship fund.

Coaching and mentoring is available for any SCC employee, at any level.

This is a free service that is provided through the Suffolk Coaching and Mentoring Partnership (SCMP).

You can find more details about this provision on the SCMP website.

WFD support staff who work within Adult and Community Services (ACS) and Children's and Young People's Services (CYP) at Suffolk County Council, as well as those employed in the private, voluntary and independent community care sectors.
