A FEW WORDS FROM THE WELSH RUGBY PLAYERS ASSOCIATION ON THEIR EMPLOYER EXPERIENCE:
“The WRPA are grateful for the continued support from NPTC Group of Colleges and the Business Development Unit.
The WRPA are working to raise the standards and skill set of players in the WRU and help them prepare for other ventures outside the Rugby World.
NPTC Group of Colleges have provided us with great funded opportunities and our dedicated Business Engagement Advisor Robert Harris has helped us achieve our objectives and provided new opportunities with training for the players.
Personal development is so important in realising the potential within people, and this enables us at the WRPA to present a more efficient and professional service within our business.
The Commitment and flexibility shown by the Business Development Unit, the Sports and Public Services Department in delivery of Gym and Personal Training Course’s under tuition of Geraint Kathrens, and the Business Tourism and Management School in delivery of the ILM Leadership & Management under the tuition of Leah Morgan and Samantha Davies who delivered Education and Training, has enabled a number of players to achieve qualifications.”
