Business Administration Employer Event

Skills for Growth recently held a fantastic event for all our Business Administration learners. Presentations included our very own Terri-Anne Mogan (Skills for Growth Marketing Apprentice) who provided a heartfelt presentation on what it is like being out of placement, her struggle in finding a new placement, how she’s succeeding within her current role at Skills for Growth and how much she is enjoying it.

A range of employers informed learners of their expectations and what it takes to impress during an interview and once placed within employment. The Business Administration Groups also presented on topics they have been covering during their classes.

Many thanks to all those who presented for donating their time to us.

Business Administration Learners Out and About

The Business Administration learners recently arranged a trip to London Zoo as part of their Innovation and Change Module within their Apprenticeship.
This trip looked at how the zoo operates as a business and how it has adapted to modernise and meet the changing demands of customers. The learners were also able to use their customer service skills to negotiate discounted entry.
