Victoria Paterson, Sales & Revenue Manager said: "We always strive to do well by our dedicated team and place huge emphasis on growing our own and providing ongoing training and qualifications to ensure we always have the best people for the job and continue to provide great customer service. The Events Assistant Standard is a great way to ensure our people are at the very top of their game and to ensure we are constantly looking to improve working practices.
"After consulting with Gateshead Council's business development team, we decided to work with learningSkills as they place huge value upon professionalism, ethical practice and provide a high quality service, all of which closely align with our own core values." Victoria added that the best part of the apprenticeship is that the bulk of the programme is based on-the-job with minimal time away from the workplace and the assessor is an industry professional who comes to them.
"learningSkills consulted with us regarding our individual business requirements, agreed upon an interview date, pre-screened applicants, carried out an initial interview and then two weeks later produced an itinerary of short-listed candidates for us to interview in our own way. Rachel has been with us for a few weeks now and already we have seen a vast improvement in efficiency and things are looking great for setting her up with the skills she needs to build a lasting career in events."
