"We recently won the T Level Employer of the Year Award for the North West at the prestigious Department for Education Apprenticeship & Skills Awards. I believe that the Mentoring Training package that we received from SDN and then implemented with our colleagues, played a crucial role in this achievement. I am delighted to be participating in SDN’s Mini Coaching and Mentoring Summit to share best practice."
