Confidence, knowledge building and promotion: Jenny’s story
Jenny Bithell, People Services Team Leader at The Regenda Group excelled in our Team Leader Supervisor apprenticeship, achieving Distinctions across the board.
We caught up with Jenny and her manager, Sean Rothwell, Head of People Services at The Regenda Group, to discuss her progress through the course:
I signed up for the course as I knew it would support my next career steps as a team leader.
The course was perfect for me as I could learn whilst working and I could do it at my own pace.
I have had opportunities to put what I have learnt into practice. I have been promoted into a Team Leader role and while completing the qualification. It has been great to network with other team leaders across Regenda and share our knowledge and experiences.
My boss, Sean, has been a great support, allowing me time to complete 20% on the job, he’s also been there to advise and guide me through. Sue my assessor has been great too, she has always been available and supported me through each unit.
Sean, the Head of People Services, supported Jenny throughout the course:
Jenny had recently been promoted into a management role and the apprenticeship supported Jenny in building on her knowledge of the principles of effective people management.
After taking part in the Team Leader Supervisor apprenticeship, Jenny is more confident in her role and has received fantastic feedback from her team about her management style.
I would encourage any other colleagues to consider taking on a similar course with The Learning Foundry. I think it helps to boost a manager’s confidence in their ability to lead and manage people and provides a widely recognised qualification that can assist with career progression.
