Our success stories really are the true evidence of how education can change lives! Pictured here (left to right) are two current Level 5 Diploma students, Candace Bates and Melissa Dunn, who have recently been promoted away from their Senior EA roles. Candace, now Pensions Manager at NatWest, worked for many years as a PA in the same firm, but after undertaking the Level 4 Certificate and now Level 5 Diploma, transitioned into a new role in the Pensions Department. Melissa, now Learning & Development Business Partner at IMI Plc, took a similar route - starting with Level 4 then undertaking the Level 5 Diploma - and learnt along her journey her passion was learning and development. After working for many years as the EA to CEO of IMI Plc, Melissa took the brave step to move into a new role, where she will be supporting the whole company to embed learning and development across all disciplines. We couldn’t be more proud of Candace and Melissa - whose recent promotions are testimony to how EAs and PAs can make the jump into something else, if they so wish!
