As a Stakeholder Manager at Pearson, my mission is to support students by building recognition and progression pathways for International BTEC and Higher National qualifications, enabling them to access opportunities in higher education. My work is driven by a passion for helping learners succeed and ensuring that their qualifications are valued and understood globally.I collaborate with universities, governments, industries, and education organisations across the UK and around the world to foster partnerships that enhance recognition of Pearson’s vocational qualifications.
