Echelon's Hill runs back to school for charity
learningmatters.com publisher Echelon is running a corporate social
responsibility (CSR) programme called Community Challenge for
organisations wishing to enrich their local communities while importing
the learning from the Challenge back into the organisation.
Echelon's managing director David Hill, meanwhile, is exercising CSR -
or PSR - of his own this September by enrolling on a 10km run to raise
money for Cancer Research in support of a close friend.
Hill, in his 60th year, says he has not run 10km since he was at
school. By coincidence, the forthcoming charity run requires his
revisiting, in running shorts, his alma mater of Stowe School in
Buckinghamshire, where fellow pupils included Sir Richard Branson.
Much welcome support can be made online at

About Echelon Learning
Echelon Learning is a consultancy-led publishing house that
integrates electronically-delivered knowledge and learning into the
development of management skills and business performance.
Echelon Consulting spearheads the company's service with the
development of new content in meeting clients' requirements. This is
usually derived from analysing employee knowledge and learning needs
captured during client learning programmes.
Where appropriate, Echelon Publishing then offers this new content to a
wider audience by publishing the material in generic format. This is
made available in the form of easy to use 'learning nuggets' and is
complimented with business development information licensed exclusively
from one of the market's best-known providers, Bloomsbury.
Echelon e-Learning provides the electronic systems which enable content
to be published, distributed and usage tracked, and offers work-based
solutions to a global audience. Now
Echelon's blended learning based on a bespoke site populated with
material selected to support specific courses, builds knowledge prior
to the event and refreshes application when back at the desk.
