    This role allows me to manage all UK training and events for Dods Training, including: • Managing all UK Bespoke training courses. • Managing all Open training courses for Private, Public Sector and Charities. • Managing the European Fast Stream and Foreign and Commonwealth Office EU Training in ‘Understanding, Working with and Influencing the European Union’. This includes researching and delivering relevant guest speakers, managing all logistics, including an overnight trip to Brussels, networking dinner and producing course materials. • Managing the budget sheet for both Open and Bespoke Training, ensuring that each event makes at least 50% in profit. • Offering support on logistics and delivery at the ‘Women into Leadership’ events in London, Leeds and Edinburgh. These are bespoke conferences which have established themselves as the key event for all those interested in seeing leadership opportunities for women enhanced, particularly in the private sector and Civil Service. • Responsible for site visits and agreeing terms of new contracts as a result of these. • Part of the Dods internal Events Committee, this involves liaising with other teams within Dods, the Shard Office management team and the organisation of Dods social events. • Taking on the responsibility of overseeing my department’s social media presence across several social media networks and scheduling the interaction with clients to engage them 24/7 in order to achieve maximum results and consistency. This includes Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. • Researching new training programmes and events in relation to current affairs and consumer needs. • Creating project packs and schedules for events where required. In November we had a delegation from Bosnia visit the UK as part of a 3-week media programme. I developed a bespoke ‘London Guide’ for the delegation, organised extra curricular activities (such as theatre trips and networking dinners) as part of their overall programme.
