Posted on: Monday, 30 January 2006, 12:00 CST
BRIGHTON, England, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Futuremedia plc , a leading European e-learning and managed benefits services provider, today announced it has launched an online training course on Effective Waste Management for the Waste Facilities Audit Association (WFAA).
The Effective Waste Management course represents the first in a series of e-learning courses available from Futuremedia covering environmental best practices. The concept was created with support and investment from members of the WFAA and is aimed at making WFAA member company employees aware of how their actions can have a direct impact on the environment as well as corporate costs.
WFAA members represent a range of industries with a specific interest in responsible waste management, including GlaxoSmithKline, BP, Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, National Grid, Merck, IBM, Pfizer and DuPont. All WFAA members were offered the opportunity to invest in the course development in return for licences granting enterprise-wide access to the training. A number of the WFAA members have taken advantage of this opportunity and are in the process of rolling out the training course to employees.
Leonard M. Fertig, Chief Executive Officer of Futuremedia plc, said, "This course is the first in a series of customized modules that we are developing on behalf of the WFAA and demonstrates Futuremedia's value as an e-learning resource."
