Working as a Training Administrator in Brussels
What is a typical day like as a Training Administrator?
Every day is different and there is always something happening. My day-to-day schedule is almost never the same because I have so many different tasks. I am part of the Course Management Team and the go-to person for students and instructors. I provide the necessary support before, during and after the course. This involves coordinating with other departments about the delivery of training and fulfilling administrative routines during course preparation and course delivery.
Tell us about your career development so far with Entry Point North.
I joined in 2021 and as time passed, I became more involved in side projects such as being part of our internal Travel Team, our Student Support Group and I am also overseeing the social media for our Belgian site. It requires a bit more planning, but has allowed me to explore new areas and develop new skills beyond my designated role.
Which of our core values is your favourite, and why?
I would say being OPEN MINDED and INNOVATIVE, as they are both equally important in the role as a Training Administrator. The need for shifting your way of operating so that it fits with the individual, requires you to practice both of these values at the same time.
What is it like to work at the site in Brussels?
I truly appreciate that my managers are approachable, make us all feel included, trust us to coordinate our own courses. We can talk about business-related matters and share a laugh together. I work with amazing colleagues in Brussels which makes my happy about coming in to work.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
I love to travel to new places, experience different landscapes, savoring local cuisines and just disconnecting from everyday life. When I am not travelling I enjoy a good run, playing tennis and support my partner who is a show jumper.
