      Chair of General Education

      As the chair of general education, I managed a direct reporting team including 26 teachers and over 120 indirect reports throughout the organisation. I was involved in negotiations with government and non-government authorities and optimised programme efficiency. I achieved a 98% success rate for resolving academic non-compliance cases, streamlined the divisional course development roadmap and delivered a 10% expansion in volume of courses. I established team development standards for the navy instructor programme and led candidate evaluations, facilitating a graduation success rate of 91.66% and £225K in new revenue. I deployed a work readiness programme to bolster revenue generation and improved workforce effectiveness, prompting £20M in revenue growth. I delivered a 100% passing rate for students following new curriculum development integrations. I maintain strategic relationships with teaching faculty and perform performance evaluations to bolster divisional effectiveness. I also personally instruct multiple credit hours per semester and ensure solution-focused approaches. Show less
