Kelly Nancarrow is committed to raising the standard of teaching and learning in Torfaen Training. With more than 15 years’ experience of work-based learning behind her, she has progressed from assessor to higher training officer and centre internal quality assurer.
The quality of support, guidance and teaching she gives to high level learners ensures that a high percentage progress to next level training.
Now Kelly has been shortlisted as one of the work-based learning stars of this year’s Apprenticeship Awards Cymru. She will be competing to become Work-based Learning Assessor of the Year at the prestigious awards ceremony at the Celtic Manor Resort, Newport on October 20.
Jointly organised by the Welsh Government and the National Training Federation for Wales (NTfW), the coveted awards are sponsored by Pearson PLC and supported by media partner, Media Wales.
Thirty star learners, employers and learning providers involved in the delivery of successful skills programmes across Wales have been shortlisted for the Apprenticeship Awards Cymru.
The Apprenticeship Programme is funded by the Welsh Government with support from the European Social Fund.
The awards are designed to showcase and celebrate the outstanding achievements of learners, employers, tutors and assessors who have excelled in contributing to the development of the Welsh Government’s Traineeships and Apprenticeship programmes.
Kelly, who lives in Cwmbran, is also recognised for her work in developing Torfaen Training staff through the implementation of quality systems and processes, personal development plans, yearly planners, workshops, training days, feedback forms and questionnaires.
In addition, Kelly has set best practice with both sub-contractors and external organisations, improving delivery, raising customer satisfaction and enhancing the reputation of the training centre.
Sam Mills, who benefitted from Kelly’s high-level training, said: “Kelly establishes a professional friendship that puts people at ease, enabling them to share concerns. She treats people with respect and dignity and I value her contribution to my personal development hugely. Her energy and enthusiasm are rare qualities.”
Kelly said: “Team work is very important and I feel I have contributed to raising the quality of our delivery and the development of our internal quality team.”
Praising the standard of applicants this year and congratulating Kelly on being shortlisted for an award, Skills and Science Minister, Julie James said: “This year’s shortlisted entrants include exceptional individuals who have excelled in their workplace and learning providers and employers that have gone the extra mile to support the apprentices they are working with. Their stories never cease to amaze and inspire.
“Apprenticeships and vocational skills training are essential ingredients of economic success and vital tools in building a stronger, fairer and more equal Wales.
“These awards provide a perfect platform to celebrate success and reward the hard work and dedication of learners, employers and training providers across Wales. I wish everyone the very best of luck for the night.”
