How important is training and skills upgrading to your company, and what’s the impact on productivity?
Ms Fiona Walker, Principal Director, Julia Gabriel Centre for Learning & Chiltern House

Continuous learning is a cornerstone of our philosophy. We strongly believe that the best teachers are lifelong learners, and ongoing training is given a priority in annual budgets. Education is a field where one must be up-to-date on recent research findings, changes to the education system as well as new pedagogy. By supporting continuous learning and professional growth, all staff feel energised and are better able to engage their students. Teaching is a passion for many in this company, and to be nourished by regular training from other professionals enables our teams to remain at the forefront of what we do.
