Case study:
HCC helps LOCOG to Get Ahead with their innovative apprenticeship programme
As a 2012 Get Set college, we’re especially proud to provide the training element for apprentices at the London Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The 10 apprentices on LOCOG’s 2012 Get Ahead apprentice programme are working towards the NVQ Level 3 in business administration with HCC.
Rheiss works in Strategy and Programme Management: “I wake up every day wanting to be at work, knowing that I am valued and working alongside some of the most talented people in the country!”
LOCOG has one main contact at Hackney Community College, Margaret, the senior lecturer in Business Administration, who is approachable and works well with the apprentices and with LOCOG.
