Apprentices will apply their learning directly to their workplace and deliver both personal and professional impact which is evidenced through the experiences of the employers and apprentices who work with us:

Hayley White, Early Careers Manager Greencore said “We have seen the confidence of our apprentices grow in terms of both their personal and professional development. Our colleagues on these programmes return to the business with new knowledge and skills that they are able to apply to their day-to-day roles.”

Katherine Robinson, who completed the Level 6 Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship, said: “I am more informed in my judgements and therefore able to challenge peers and senior leaders in my workplace using my own knowledge and experience. Having that theoretical knowledge to back up my thoughts and opinions has allowed me to have a balanced view when I am sharing ideas and challenging others.”

Stephanie Sirr, Chief Executive, Nottingham Playhouse highlights the employer and employee benefits of the Senior Leader Apprenticeship “the right apprenticeship for a mid-career employee refreshes their thinking, enables them to get some perspective and reinforcement and the company benefits from that.”

Becky Valentine, who completed the Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship, said: “I was particularly attracted to the applied nature of the course. Focusing each assignment on my company allowed me to make an immediate positive impact from the new knowledge, skills, and behaviours I developed.”
