It's a great place to work. There is lots of collaboration from the team and everyone has a growth mindset, there is truly not a dull moment. The other attributes I really appreciate is that it is a place that provides an environment for continuous growth and learning and the people are also fun to be around and most of all we get the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the people that we train - giving them the skills, framework and mindset for change making.
