Welcoming our second guest, Caroline Crawley
People Professional: Caroline Crawley, Quality Business Partner at Interserve Learning and Employment
Introducing our second guest, Caroline, who leads a quality and curriculum team for Interserve Learning and Employment. She's responsible for ensuring apprentices receive the best quality teaching and learning experiences.
Interserve Learning and Employment provide first-class education and employment services across the country. They work collaboratively with people to fulfil their potential and help organisations to grow by upskilling their workforce. They have also been doing this for over 34 years. In addition, they continue to support over 7,000 learners per year progress in their chosen careers.
By working within senior leadership roles for the last 7 years, Caroline has been involved in HR activity on a regular basis. Unfortunately, these are usually the unpleasant activities. However, through working with some great HR professionals Caroline saw how HR could really help to shape a business and nurture its employees.
As a result, this led Caroline to want to complete her CIPD qualification. Due to having a busy life this was never achieved; that was the case until Interserve Learning and Employment agreed to invest in her development and enrolled her onto an HR Business Partner/Consultant Apprenticeship L5 through their levy. Through this, she has been provided with the opportunity to lead on projects which will support the continued growth and success of the business.
In addition, Caroline is a qualified teacher, a Business Management graduate from the University of Chester. She is also a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner.
