Cindy Gee, Training Co-ordinator (Modern Apprenticeship)
As a Training Coordinator for Modern Apprenticeships, I support both the apprentices and the employers and work hard to build good relationships. I absolutely love my job and helping people. Apprenticeships are such an important part of our sector and are critical I feel in helping people achieve a good qualification whilst in paid employment. Not everyone wants to go to University and this gives people a different path and allows them to develop and train in a job that they are passionate about.
- Where I started: I have had a varied career ranging in a variety of office jobs across quite a few sectors up to my current position within UHI Moray – who I joined in 1999 ! but have also had a few positions in different departments over this time and really love this place. I was also fortunate enough to be able to study whilst working full time and achieved my HNC in Business Management and my Level 3 SVQ in Business and my Trainer / Assessors qualifications, all of which I believe help me in my role today. I also spent a year in the USA at 22 working and living there which I feel really opened up my horizons and let me see another side to life. This gave me the confidence to try something new and not be afraid of change.
- Favourite quote: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" this is attributed to to Maya Angelou, a Civil Rights Activist.
- Favourite place in Moray: Roseisle Beach, one of my favourite places on earth.
- Favourite part of my job: Helping the apprentices and seeing their confidence grow. There is nothing nicer than seeing someone believe in themselves. I am passionate about lifelong learning and the doors that can open for people.
