“Applying for a job or a promotion can be challenging, so I set up The Career Development Programme at Havering. It’s like a pick’n mix for learning, where people can build their confidence, gain new skills and get useful tips and advice for interviews. If you’re thirsty for development, you can really grow here.”
“I was an intern here for four months and it really was the springboard I needed. My managers are very supportive and are always pushing me to see where I want to go, helping me understand what skills I need to achieve those things. There’s so many opportunities to explore different roles and follow new paths you’re interested in.”
