“The best learning they had was the peer learning, the face-to-face conversations. It’s understanding that what the might do in their organisation is massively different in what another organisation would do.”
“There are few different ways that people can do things. You just have to think about what suits you.”
“HR apprenticeship is an amazing opportunity for organisations to get people in and really help them get into HR.”
