Ray spoke about Matt Trueman’s professional development, going on to say:
“Matt started in July 2020 as a Marketing intern and has gone on to be promoted twice in two years, to Marketing Lead and Head of Communications. Since starting at Whyy? Change, Matt has been given the opportunity to be enrolled on the Level 4 CIM Certificate in Professional Digital Marketing and Level 6 Marketing Manager apprenticeship to complete his Level 6 CIM Diploma Professional Marketing. These highly regarded industry qualifications and development have enabled him to obtain the skills and knowledge to head up the Communications team at Whyy? Change.”
Emma Harrison, who has recently been promoted to Managing Director of Whyy? Change shared her development journey:
“In July 2019, I joined Whyy? Change as their Governance Officer. At the time there wasn’t an apprenticeship standard suited to my role or future ambitions. So, when the Quality Practitioner apprenticeship was launched, in January 2021, I jumped at the opportunity to start it. Since starting my apprenticeship I’ve received Glu Recruit’s highly commended Office Hero award and successfully achieved CIPD study centre status for Whyy?.
April 2021, I was promoted from Governance Officer to Director of Governance, having been recognised by Ray, the CEO as someone leads from the front as a role model who shows willingness to enhance my qualifications through an apprenticeship.”
