Read Lucas' Story
Lucas Bannon is a successful learner who progressed through our skills bootcamp. He was already working in a leadership role, but his employer wanted to support Lucas to further develop his leadership skill set and for him to be able to take advantage of the modules within the course.
Duke Street Market is a part of GSG, and a company we have worked closely with several times now. Feedback from Lee Bannon-Smith, General Manager: 'Since completing the skills bootcamp course I have seen a very positive improvement in my manager’s confidence, communication and decision-making ability. They have clearly been able to link skills and knowledge learned on the course to their day-to-day role.’ Lucas Experience: 'I really enjoyed the skills bootcamp and the most challenging, yet rewarding part for me was the Employment and Recruitment Practices module as I am currently working as a manager in charge of staff liaisons. I have also been using what I learnt about Rewards and Incentives at work to try and motivate my team.' Duke Street Market have since enrolled two further staff members on to the next the Skills Bootcamps, due to the success they have seen with Lucas. |
