My time on the course I was an employment and Skills training helping the public that had lost their jobs due to the pandemic. I would run groups of 4 to 10 people looking at topics like. Transferable skills, CV building, advanced job searching and self-confidence with Interview Skills. this was done remotely I worked closely with a team of advisors to for fill my attendances targets.
Working on a range of mini projects to build confidence with discussing ideas in a fair and open way with different members if the team. the power of praise can have on work ethics and how to build a strong a robust team bast of our differences. understanding my own leadership style and the way other are likely to manage based on their personality traits have helped me develop as a Leadership and Management Development Manager from a skills trainer.
The programme was very well put together and had key focus on the continuous development plan that gave verity to the way I could tackle a topic and talk to my line managers about how I can for fill the criteria for assignments and be move proactive in the eyes on manager and business.
I had timely meetings with my tutor in classroom groups online (due to covid) and one to one meeting with the tutor every couple of weeks. The tutor emailed out the works books for each topic and was very knowledgeable about where the mark and most important points are listed for quick reference. The time scale where clear for the work to be completed and the online space for tracking the documents was very easy to follow. the organizing of my final exam was sadly poor with the provider and the awarding body unable to communicate as this resulted in a 4-month gap in submission of paperwork to the exam being taken.
My employer understands the importance of investing in people. Line managers as open to discussion on suitable time scales for the in-work hours to be completed and are forward thinking about projects that maybe of benefit for the team and myself. I was given 4 hours a week to work on my independent study and monthly reviews with manager were used to focus on parts of the key learning I was doing. Managment also celebrate success on a companywide format.
Paragon skills tutor was always a at hand via phone, and email. we had a close working relationship and built up a quick and stable rapport any issues the tutor and the exam offers would contact me directly to ensure that issues were put right. I received all documents and learning materials in a timely and usable fashion for meetings and classes. My trainer [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] had other members of his team in training with him learn the job and he explained this to me when he we were observed on occasion.
During my study time for the qualification, I saw my monthly reviews and progress checks improve month on month using the tools and techniques I had learnt when working with not only my team but also the members of the public that I had in my classes. I was also gained a promotion during my time doing this course, as it raised my personal profile within the company.
