- Define program success metrics and apply data-driven insights to optimize apprenticeship operations, maintain accurate dashboard reporting, and create action plans that improve apprentice progression and business alignment
- Collaborate with the business to ensure apprenticeship curricula meet operational requirements, working cross-functionally to balance apprentice development needs with business goals and employer provider standards
- Coordinate with recruitment teams to ensure smooth apprentice onboarding and conversion processes, proactively clearing blockers, managing timelines, and communicating program status to stakeholders at all levels
