The Hub has a detailed marketing plan which contains a clear operating statement on how the marketing will be carried out. The plan takes account of the economic nature and employment and skills needs of the region. The wide range of successful marketing includes leaflet distribution to all households advertising in free newspapers, magazines and radio, newsletters to existing learners, branded stationery and crockery, and posters in libraries and the waiting rooms of doctors' and dentists' surgeries. These arrangements have improved the number of course registrations significantly over the past two years from 1,227 registrations and 749 learners in 1999-2000, to 13,612 registrations and 6,455 learners in 2001-02.
Most learning centres are attractive, quiet and welcoming environments which are easily accessible, especially for those with mobility problems.
The Hub promotes inclusion. It has an increasingly diverse and expanding range of learning centres across the country, offering differing learning environments. Long opening hours help attendance and most learning centres have good access, facilities and equipment for learners with disabilities.
