Mate to Manager

Award winning provider of apprenticeships, funded training and learning and development.

Our Approach:

We propose delivering key modules as a group for both managers and team leaders. This approach fosters a shared understanding and collaborative environment. We also suggest a half-day session for your Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to get an overview of the planned topics and activities. Our standard format involves group workshop sessions, typically from 10 am to 3 pm, held once a month to minimise disruption. However, we’re completely flexible and can adapt to what works best for your business. In addition, we can schedule separate follow-on sessions for just managers or team leaders, depending on your agreed-upon focuses for their specific roles.
