About PIN WM
Lifelong learning is critical for personal growth and development and so it is really appropriate that the University of Central England (UCE) have become our inaugaral sponsors enabling us to publicise the cpd work of our member Institutes in the West Midlands.
PINWM is the web based Professional Institute Network for the West Midlands. It is a loose association of some of the West Midlands most influential professional institutes who all share the common purpose of:
- Promoting events to Members and Students of all bodies to facilitate their requirement for CPD
- Creating Networking opportunities across the professions
- Raising the profile of each of the member institutes to one another's members and students
- Enabling the engagement of key speakers for events by ensuring a worthwhile audience
The idea is that each Institute makes a number of its events available to members and students of other Institutes to provide over 37,000 members and students with a wide-range of locally available, low-cost CPD to meet what is now, for most professional bodies, a mandatory requirement of keeping up-to-date. Events can be booked by simply clicking through to the Institute who are organising the event.
Periodically a selection of events will be downloaded from the website and distributed by the participating bodies to all their members and students by e-mail or hardcopy. There is no cost to the participating Institutes, except for the commitment to distribute the booklet. The website has been built and managed for us by our partners PerfectArc, which was facilitated by WMita (the West Midlands IT Association). We would be pleased to hear from :
- any Institutes wishing to participate in PINWM
- any organisations interested in sponsoring PINWM joint events
- any speakers interested in making CPD presentations to our members and students.
I am
delighted that UCE have shown their commitment by supporting the publication of
a PINWM booklet about the events on offer.
