Engagement Manager Review

Managing Careers Leaders at five London schools to improve their careers programme for their students. Source employer encounters and work experience opportunities all externally.

How to approach management internally to request further training. This has resulted in internal team training (assisting my Line Manager), internal organisation training (company wide delivered by the Training Team), and a recent promotion to now managing a new contract.

It has been great to experience leading a team of immediate colleagues for the first time, and less intimidating than I thought. Each discussion with Yolande is interesting and I feel we have a good teacher/learner relationship.

Meetings with my Paragon tutor are always pre-planned with enough time to complete my personal studying (although I am currently behind a bit, completely my own fault). Yolande always explains what we will cover in our next meeting so I am prepared.

There isn't much of a need of support from my employer, but when they do check in, it is completely unannounced which is a little frustrating as I can be in the middle of work.

It has naturally lead to my access to supporting my Line Manager and now receiving a promotion into a managerial position. I am sure the rest of my qualification will further help me in my new role.

The internal company wide 'Future Managers Academy' came at a good time, shortly after I began my qualification. I may also be able to access the second stage of this training, the 'Managers Academy' training. Apart from that, activities have been difficult due to covid.

Yes

Excellent opportunities to progress with managers who invest time, effort and resources in team member's development.

Share your aspirations - whether you are looking for future development and promotions, or even if you are not and are happy to stay in one role, so they know what to expect from you as an employee.
