A very good workshop, good pace of delivery and inclusive

Tarmac

A very informative webinar. It was good to bring in different spokespeople who had the experience and advice, and even a reality check on the hurdles and obstacles. Definitely feel more informed than before joining.

Very informative session. Thank you. Best session on T-levels that I have attended.

It was a really valuable session and I would recommend it to other employers.

"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."
