We have provided some key 'need to know' information for line managers and supervisors to ensure a positive, welcoming and supportive induction for you and your teams into Cumberland Council.
Building confidence in digital skills
Many of us now work from home or across different locations, including council and non‑council sites. This means we rely more on virtual tools, software and online ways of working.
We don’t always have immediate access to colleagues when we’re not in the same office. You may be asked to use systems or software that feel unfamiliar. Wherever you work and whatever your role, it’s important to feel confident using digital tools to get your job done.
Support and learning resources
You can build your digital skills using a range of online self‑learning resources on iLearn. These include:
- tutorial videos
- guidance documents
- step-by-step support you can follow at your own pace
Use these resources anytime to develop your digital knowledge when it suits you.

All employees must complete eight core essential learning modules. These modules are required either by law or to support our Council Plan.
