🌱 Learning at Work Week is back!
📅 18–24 May

This year’s theme, ‘Many Ways to Learn’, celebrates something we often forget — there’s no single path to growth.

✨ Whether it’s:
* Gaining qualifications or completing an apprenticeship
* Learning from colleagues and shared experiences
* Taking on new challenges
* Or building knowledge through reading, podcasts, and reflection

Every way of learning matters.

Because when we learn, we don’t just grow individually — we strengthen our teams and make an even bigger impact for Devon 💚

This week, we’re encouraging our staff to explore all the ways they can learn and develop on the job.
