What’s it all about?

Working remotely, our Training and Engagement Officers are focused on recruitment for our Sector Based Work Academies. They attend meetings as required to promote Classroom based/Skills programmes. They drive referrals by maintaining and building new working relationships with referral sources and network at local events.

A key part of the role is to onboard the required numbers of learners onto courses per region per contract in line with the local business plan. They also make sure the learners stay engaged throughout their pathway of learning with us, by working closely with Tutors and keep in regular contact to ensure that learners are receiving all the support required.
