TESTIMONIALS
What our organisational members say
Solving a real CPD gap
“All of our staff should be supported to access training and development opportunities, but budgets and access can make that difficult. Empower immediately felt like it addressed a need we’d been aware of but hadn’t found a way to resolve.”
Staff choose what matters for their own development.
“Staff have the autonomy to decide what they want to access, identify their own development needs, and pursue them in a way that supports their future progression.”
Relevant across every library role
“There’s content that works for managers, librarians, and frontline staff — it’s not just aimed at one role or level.”
Practical skills people actually need
"Project management, time management, communication, these are things staff actually need, and they’re coming up in useful, practical ways."
Don't just take our word for it
