Meet the Apprenticeship Hub team;
Jack Pettitt
The Apprenticeship Hub Manager
“I am responsible for taking the lead on advertising apprenticeship vacancies and co-ordinating The Apprenticeship Hub. My role is split between Newcastle College and Stafford College and I am the first point of contact for employers looking to recruit an apprentice. I also visit local high schools to deliver workshops on finding an employer, writing a CV and attending that all important interview.
Hayley Joynson
The Apprenticeship Hub Recruitment Specialist
“I am based at Newcastle College and I am responsible for employer liaison and matching candidates to the right apprenticeship placements. I provide guidance regarding candidates CVs, showing them how to improve them and showcase their skills. I also coach the candidates through the interview process, giving them lots of interview tips throughout their journey.”
Charlotte Meredith
The Apprenticeship Hub Administrator
“I am the first point of contact for students visiting the Hub at Newcastle College. I arrange the apprenticeship interviews and invite applicants to welcome events at the Newcastle campus. Along with the team, I also visit local schools to speak with pupils about studying an apprenticeship when they leave school. I have previously studied as an apprentice myself, so I have a real understanding of what’s involved.”
Darren Spencer
Apprenticeship Account Manager
“Based at Stafford College, I am responsible for Business Development, being the first point of contact in providing Information, Advice & Guidance (IAG) to both new and existing employers. I provide any support required by employers with regards to the Funding of their Apprenticeships. I also provide IAG to any prospective apprentice.”
Bradley Kebell
Apprentice
“Starting an apprenticeship in Business Admin with NSCG has taught me many different skills on the job and off the job, such as my organisation skills and my socialising skills. I work in the apprenticeship hub in NSCG as well as the EPA Admin assistant which I enjoy as I get to see apprentices such as myself at the beginning of their journey and see them come through the other side at the end with their certificates and qualifications they have obtained on their journey.”
