Jaltek Sponsors Employee Through Senior Leader Apprenticeship Programme
February 17, 2025 | JaltekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Jaltek is thrilled to be sponsoring Business Development Manager, Jack Groom through his Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship programme, at the University of Bedfordshire. Jack started the course in September 2023 and last month he received his Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration and in March he will complete and receive the Senior Leader Apprenticeship.
The course is a deep dive into industry best practices and real-world projects supported by cutting-edge research. It challenges students assumptions so that they gain a critical, reflexive approach to strategic leadership and management. They also develop a strategic global outlook to drive impactful change within their organisation.
Commenting on the course Jack said, ‘For 18 months, every Thursday, I was either on Campus or online learning. It was tough at times as it was a lot of work alongside my day job and involved a lot of evenings as well, but it was totally worth it. It’s been such a rewarding experience so far and I’d highly recommend the course. I’ve learned so much and met some extraordinary people from a plethora of industries.’
‘I’m really looking forward to taking everything I’ve learned back to Jaltek and start putting it in to practice. I hope to be a more rounded business professional and can’t wait to apply both my industry and academic learnings to my everyday activities. I am so grateful to Jaltek and all the team for this opportunity and for all their support throughout this process,” Jack continued.
Jaltek's Steve Blythe commented, “We’re so proud of Jack and all his hard work over the last 18 months. He was already an asset to the team and now will bring even more expertise, knowledge and strategic thinking to his role. We are dedicated to supporting the next wave of talented workers and encouraging lifelong learning and it is an honour to be able to sponsor Jack through this programme. Our aim is to enable people to advance and succeed in their chosen careers whilst also offering insightful training and mentorship.”
The Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship shapes innovative leaders who excel in creativity and strategic thinking. In addition to this Diploma, Jack is also doing the Business Administration MBA top up in September.
