I have worked for Avant Skills Academy since 2004 and in the education and skills sector since 2000. My previous roles were in electrical and IT retail management. I am a qualified teacher and since working for Avant I have introduced and developed our 16-19 pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programmes. My role now is to lead the marketing team which also includes social media content and advertising. I also lead on safeguarding, ensuring that all of our learners are safe while on our 16-19 pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programmes.
