Successful participants will graduate from the Sales Academy with a valuable certificate of attendance and achievement and an understanding of what it takes to be a successful sales and business professional. The goal of the programme is for every participant to graduate with a full-time role by the end of the six week period.

“The sales profession can be such a rewarding career with the right training and coaching,” said Richard Lane, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at durhamlane.

“We are really excited about the Sales Academy programme and looking forward to helping aspiring young professionals take a significant step towards building a positive career,” said John Deary, Curriculum Operations Manager at Gateshead College.

The initiative has been funded through the Go>Grow scheme, a regional skills and enterprise programme being delivered in partnership with 30 local training providers. It was launched after Gateshead College secured £15m of funding from the European Social Fund through the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).
