what's new?

YOU'RE A MEMBER ALREADY

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR PROFILE TO GET FULL ACCESS TO THE NEW NORRAG SITE!!

We have made some changes to the NORRAG website which we hope will make it more user-friendly.

The only action that needs to be taken by you is to update your profile. On the homepage, there is a box headed: ‘You're a member already'. Please enter your email in this box and you'll be taken to a screen to update your profile, including setting a password of your choice. Please be sure to fill in all the compulsory sections of your new profile, which are marked with a red asterisk ( * ). You can now enter up to three areas of expertise and three countries of expertise.

You will need to update your profile and set a password in order to:
• Access the latest issue of NORRAG News
• Access the NORRAG Networking Tool

The NORRAG Networking Tool offers you a way to connect with potentially like-minded people. You can find and contact members with similar interests to yours, or with the interests you are looking for; including those who have an expertise in a particular country or on a particular topic.

For example there are currently about 350 NORRAG members who claim to have expertise in technical and vocational education and training. These can then be broken down by country. For example there are about 400 members of NORRAG in the UK, and it is very easy to see who they are and what their professional interests are, via the Networking Tool. This can be useful for planning research or sabbatical visits or looking for professional contacts.

With best wishes

 

The NORRAG team
