Case Study - The Grove

Check out how we supported The Grove to provide opportunities for students to explore careers across their estate.

Here, Spa Manager Nikki - a West Herts College alumni who has been part of The Grove family for 17 years shares her journey from starting out as a Spa Therapist to now supporting others through the Spa Trainee Therapist Programme.

Alongside her is Megan, a current trainee, beginning her own path. Seeing that journey come full circle is something we're incredibly proud of.

Working with employers to solve recruitment and talent pipeline problems is the key to our contribution to the local economy.
