Skills Support for the Workforce
Chloe worked as a Marketing Officer at Fisher Solicitors and is responsible for all marketing activities. With a previous qualification in Marketing, Chloe’s goal was to grow and become a more rounded employee with an understanding of management and leadership qualities.
To meet her goal, Chloe completed the Team Leading NVQ Level 2 Diploma, which was delivered by Siamo Training, one of the expert training providers chosen to carry out the Skills Support for the Workforce (SSW) programme. As SSW is co-financed by the European Social Fund and the Education and Skills Funding Agency, Chloe was able to access the training at no cost to herself or her employer.
As part of her training, Chloe wanted to understand how to manage herself and staff to ensure higher productivity and develop relationships with other departments to positively affect output. An aim of the course was to increase confidence in the style of managing and awareness in how others work.
Since completing the qualification, Chloe has been promoted to Marketing Manager with the course having directly impacted the achievement. It has also enabled Chloe to think about different aspects of the wider business and gain a greater understanding of different leadership styles to adapt accordingly. Chloe has more confidence as she better understands her role and the business, which provides her with a platform to continue progressing.
Chloe has ambitions to progress and complete further Leadership and Management training. She is currently discussing undertaking Level 5 and Level 7 Senior Management apprenticeships with her employer.
Roedd partner cyflenwi Serco PeoplePlus yn chwilio am Gynorthwyydd Gweinyddol, a digwydd bod, roedd Courtney yn chwilio am yrfa yn yr un maes. “Wrth edrych yn ôl, fe ddylwn i fod wedi prynu tocyn loteri ar ddiwrnod y cyfweliad oherwydd doeddwn i ddim yn gallu credu fy lwc! Roeddwn i’n Gyfranogwr ac erbyn hyn rwy’n gweithio yn PeoplePlus yn helpu i roi’r Cynllun Ailddechrau ar waith. Mae’n dangos ei fod yn gweithio!”
Gyda chymorth ein tîm Ymgysylltu â Chyflogwyr, mae’r adwerthwr eisoes wedi cynnig 15 o swyddi i Gyfranogwyr yn ei siop ddiweddaraf ac mae mwy i ddod. Rydyn ni’n gweithio ar agor dwy siop arall eleni, ac rydyn ni’n edrych ymlaen at gydweithio wrth i 20 o siopau gael eu hagor ledled y wlad yn 2022.
What does ‘job-ready’ mean? For us, it’s people like Tony who was empowered to show-off his talent because he received the right pre-employment training and was matched to the right job. See how Tony wowed his employer before he even began working for them.
In a moment of serendipity, Serco’s delivery partner, PeoplePlus was looking for an Administrative Assistant and Courtney walked in looking for a career in the same field. “Looking back, I should have bought a lottery ticket on the day of the interview because I just couldn’t believe my luck! I was a Participant and now I work at PeoplePlus helping to deliver the Restart Scheme. I’m proof it works!”
