Emma shared her appreciation, going on to say:
“I would like to thank the employers we work with for their continued support and for allowing us the opportunity to develop their teams and help transform their businesses. Without your trust in us, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
The apprentices deserve every success for the hard work and resilience shown to complete their apprenticeships to such high standards. The programmes aren’t easy, especially when juggling work and personal pressures.
It’s humbling to see how far some apprentices have come when they have faced some significant challenges along their journey, but they haven’t given up!
I’d also like to thank our amazing team for the dedication they show in every training session in ensuring that every apprentice has the best learning experience. Our team are more than ‘tutors’, they are highly skilled practitioners, they are ‘entertainers’, they are knowledgeable, they are driven and most of all, every one of them genuinely cares about every apprentice they work with. That’s why I’m proud to be part of Whyy? Change.”
