Paula Wynne I recently held the the position of PR and MARKETING MANAGER for an independent hotel group in Newbury. This was an extremely exciting position as the media liaison for Donnington Valley Hotel and Spa which won several awards including AA Hotel of the Year as well as The Vineyard at Stockcross which received a 2nd Michelin Star amongst other prestigious awards. I have also contracted at Oxford University Press and worked on numerous client accounts.
A national search is on to find the UK’s most deserving individual who can show how studying new skills could change their life. With this in mind, The Remote Worker Awards and The Open University invite the British workforce to enter The Open University Skills Award to win a brand new career!
The Open University Skills Award is open to anyone who wishes to train for a new career and attain a new profession. One deserving winner will receive £2000 first prize and two runners up get £500 to study any course with The Open University.
Entrants might have overcome challenges to advance their career; they might already be working and want to develop themselves for new career prospects. They may wish to gain new skills and get back into work following redundancy. Or it could be used for someone to finally get their hands on their dream career!
The Open University Skills Award is one of the highlights of The Remote Worker Awards in association with BT Business, which aims to raise awareness for remote and home working as an alternative solution to the traditional nine to five office routine.
