‘Playing To Your Strengths’ with guest speaker Caroline Brown was our third online Alumni workshop held this year. The event was fully booked and once again received brilliant feedback from our Alumni. Our next event will be held in November with guest speaker Dara Jafari, Regional Director at Faithful + Gould.
If you are a past delegate but are not on our mailing list, send an email to alumni@skills4uk.com to sign up.
Following on from Caroline’s excellent Alumni workshop last week we have followed up by creating a Podcast version of the talk. The Podcast is available to everyone not just our Alumni. We look forward to creating a full series of Podcasts for you to listen to.

Congratulations to two of our clients who this year have scooped top employer awards. Atkins placed in the ‘Top 50 Employers for Women’ whilst Arcadis places in the ‘Top 5 Best Big Companies To Work For’. Working with them we know just how hard they work at creating and maintaining a people first culture with the work they are doing inline with their diversity and inclusion strategies amongst other areas.
Both these clients have successfully put 100’s of women though our award-winning EMPOWER: Career Development for Women Programme which is designed to help further their careers and help organisations improve culture and close their gender pay gap.
