GTA boosts team and starts developing new courses

Friday 12 April 2019

The GTA University Centre has strengthened its team with three new additions.

The agency works in partnership with businesses and individuals to provide training and advice.

Head of Programmes Michelle Morley said Programmes Managers are at the heart of what they do. 

“The strength of the GTA lies in the fact that we are nimble and customer-facing and able to respond quickly to training needs at both an organisational and Bailiwick level," she said. "Our team of Programmes Managers are out speaking to industry on a daily basis to understand local training needs. In this way we can ensure that the GTA course offering is relevant and up to date but more than this we also seek to ensure that the courses we offer deliver improved performance for both employee and employer.

“I am delighted we have been able to strengthen the team and their skills are already being put to use in developing new courses for the Bailiwick”.

Camilla Hobbs, has a legal background having practiced as an advocate in the Isle of Man and Guernsey and will oversee finance and law courses. She said:

“As an advocate I recognise the importance of keeping up-to-date on regulatory changes and accordingly being skillful at applying learning in a daily role. My experience helps me to ensure that the GTA keeps abreast of new changes and trends and that clients receive the training which meets their business needs.”

Julie Eaton joined the GTA in 2017 having worked in hospitality and recruitment in the UK and Guernsey for the past 20 years. She has been promoted to Programmes Manager earlier this year and is responsible for the portfolio of Leadership & Management and Personal Development courses within the GTA.

In addition to two new Programmes Managers the GTA has appointed Caterina Allaway to the role of Marketing Manager. Caterina brings her creativity and campaign experience in the arts, education and charitable sectors.
