Learning & Development

We are dedicated to investing in and developing our staff so that each individual is working to the best of their ability. Throughout your career with us, you will be provided with professional development and learning opportunities, whatever your role or level.

 

Qualifications

Our mission is to help unleash future potential and that’s exactly what we do with our staff. We partner with many professional bodies and training providers to ensure they continue to develop their specialist knowledge. 

Here are some of our staff members describing their career development with Gattaca:

 

Claire Cross

“I joined Gattaca as a history graduate, my role developed from a Graduate Liaison Consultant in 2005; building relationships with universities across the UK to identify talent for our Engineering and Technology clients, to my current role which is Human Resources Director for the Group. This development wouldn’t have been possible without the ongoing mentoring and support of my peers and directors, and without the Gattaca-funded post-graduate diploma in Personnel Development (CIPD Accredited) and Masters top-up. These additional qualifications have helped me become a credible member of the HR function, allowing me to add value to colleagues across the business, and have also provided me with the academic stimulation and in-work challenges required to succeed at my current role and for my future development.”

Claire Cross, HR Director

 

Joe Griffin - Senior Digital Marketing Specialist

“When deciding to join Gattaca in a Marketing role in September 2015, good training and development opportunities were a key factor. Having been enrolled a year after joining the company, I am now over half way through my CIM ‘Professional Certificate in Marketing’ course. It has given me a great deal of knowledge and confidence in my role, and has helped me to grow greatly as a marketing specialist at Gattaca.”

Joe Griffin, Senior Digital Marketing Lead

 

Jack Martin

“I joined Gattaca as an English & Creative Writing graduate four years ago with little business experience and no knowledge of the particulars of my role as a Junior Bid Writer. However, I did have the right attitude towards learning and from day one this was matched by Gattaca’s desire to help me develop. The most important part of my development was the close mentoring I received to help me achieve my goals and continue to improve. We use a competency framework which gives me specific targets to keep improving to become better at my role, which I can work on to help reinforce my strengths and build on areas I could be even better in. In the space of four years I have progressed to become a Senior Bid Manager and have developed a career I am passionate about.”

Jack Martin, Bids & Marketing Manager
