Welcome to the June issue of Corporatetraining.ie newsletter – the monthly e-bulletin for HR and training professionals in Ireland.

News stories this month include the recent launch of a learning network for Irish trainers and HR departments, further evidence (as if you needed any!) of the positive impact that T&D has on staff retention, and an exciting opportunity for Irish business leaders to learn the language and business customs of East Asia.

Our contributor this month is Myles Downey, founder of the School of Coaching in the UK, on the issue of the latest developments in the world of coaching and how to go about picking the right coach for your organisation's needs.
June's Training Tip involves practical activities that will enable you to measure, and improve, your team's communications. All part of the service here at www.corporatetraining.ie!

And don't forget to take part in our latest poll on the important issue of conference facilities. Last month's results reveal fascinating attitudes toward preferred learning formats.

Learning Ireland is also proud to announce a September exhibition in Dublin's RDS, which will feature hundreds of adult education and up skilling opportunities. Click here for full details and to register for a visitor's pass to the Which Course Dublin Expo 2008.

And last but not least, we have details of the latest issue of First Train – Ireland's favourite full-colour quarterly magazine for HR and training professionals. Click here for subscription information.

Until next time…
