Jan 2000 - Dec 2002
While at Drake, I originally joined them as a Recruitment and Contracting Placement Consultant. I then moved onto their IT Training Division (Drake Training) that focussed on delivering IT certification via onsite training and scheduled face to face courses. During that time i was also directly involved and lead a major change in business direction towards a combination of Online and "Face to Face" IT certification. This blended learning model allowed our business unit to grow our revenue base by over 145% year on year without incurring significant costs impacting our bottom line. We were able to "do more with less" in a very competitive market.
