Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
John Lewis & Partners, Learning and Development, Bracknell Campus. October 2022 to present. I lead a team of Progression Specialists who enable Partners to have opportunities to develop their skills, knowledge and experiences through apprenticeships and other development programmes. We serve the Partnership as the conduit between learning providers and programme users by identifying schemes that align to our Partnership Plan. I have successfully re-organised the team structure to achieve our key objectives in Early Careers and New skills, Enhancing Careers and Specialist Skills and Leadership Careers and Transferable skills. The Progression Programmes enable all Partners to fulfill their potential within a purposeful and sustainable career in the Partnership, through market leading, innovative programmes ensuring choice for all.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have been actively developing my skillset. I have gained a deeper understanding of project management. This includes acquiring the tools needed to deliver a project from start to finish and the skills to effectively engage stakeholders, communicate clearly, and present project deliverables and outcomes.
I'm excited to continue building upon these skills and applying them in future endeavors.
