GROW’s team of supervisors will have access to new qualifications in ‘Education and Training’ thanks to funding provided by Kleinwort Hambros.
The private banking and wealth management business has partnered with the learning-disabled charity.
The funding will bolster the training provided to GROW’s team through the College of Further Education. Crew members can already get a City and Guilds Level One qualification in horticulture.
The crew will now be able to enroll in the Award in Education and Training (AET) Level 3 programme too.
GROW’s General Manager, Jess Aughton, said: “Our supervisors already have a broad range of experience and skills providing a comprehensive training and mentoring programme for the Crew.
“Our partnership with Kleinwort Hambros will significantly enhance those skills and broaden what we can provide, through funding qualifications for both the crew and the staff. These will help improve employability, confidence and ability in a range of vocational areas for the crew, whilst upskilling our staff’s ability to deliver training. We are grateful for Kleinwort Hambros’ support and are looking forward to working with their team over the next two years.”
