Elevate your workplace learning content with flexible training design solutions for businesses, charities, and learning providers

Hello!

Welcome to Blended Vocation!

I’m Mabel Toju Cline-Cole, a Training and Blended Learning Consultant and owner of Blended Vocation.

I design flexible training and blended learning solutions for foundational workplace learning, such as onboarding, compliance, and career development.

I also develop high-impact materials that either support these programmes or serve as effective standalone resources.

But first, let's ask some tough questions. 

  • Is your onboarding or compliance training helping people perform at their best?

  • Could your workplace training benefit from a more flexible, blended approach?

  • Do you need to turn your content into flexible, effective training—whether as interactive digital toolkits or simple downloadable guides—without turning it into e-learning?

  • Are your career development or work experience programmes truly impactful?

  • Looking to conduct training needs analysis or evalutions ?

  • Need someone to handle the heavy lifting in getting training ready for delivery?

  • Do you need a functional skills tutor for your organisation?

If you answered yes to any of these, let’s talk. It’s time to bring in a professional…

There’s no perfect, off-the-shelf answer to learning and development. What works is what’s right for your business.

Flexible workplace learning

Flexible learning refers to an approach that adapts to learners' diverse needs, schedules, and environments, allowing them to access content at their own pace and convenience.

Blended learning combines digital and face-to-face methods to create a more dynamic and interactive experience.

Together, flexible and blended learning solutions make learning or training more accessible, inclusive, and responsive to how people work and learn across various roles and locations.

Learners can engage in ways that suit them best by using a mix of formats, such as videos, e-learning, live sessions, toolkits, reference materials, coaching, mentoring, and practical activities.

Blended learning is especially effective for foundational training needs like onboarding, compliance, and early career development.

It delivers scalable, impactful learning that helps people start strong, stay compliant, and build confidence from day one.

My training design is based on flexible learning principles. I adopt a strengths-based, personalised approach to ensure that the training is relevant and engaging, creating a lasting impact for both learners and the organisation.
