Business executives said….
“This programme is extremely valuable for our business as it allows not only the employee the opportunity to give something back to the community but it also allows Three as a company to be seen as a future employer. It is a great programme which I feel all organisations should invest in.” “We can learn so much from each other. Teachers are in essence training and developing the employee of the future. Understanding how learning and development happens within an organisation can support how they deal with situations in the class room and the same could be said for the corporate world. We do need programmes like this so that we may support and develop the talent within the teacher population as in some cases this type of development or knowledge sharing opportunity may not naturally arise”.
