Testimonials
Compass is investing in the industry leaders of the future. Here are what some of the 2004 members of the academy said about their experiences on the programme:
The Compass programme was a fantastic opportunity for me to meet young professionals from other housing associations and share ideas and experiences. It was also a good opportunity to learn about regeneration from a wider perspective and to build relationships that have already benefited my career.
Peter Broad
Project Officer, Atrium City Living
Compass provides a great opportunity to newly recruited housing professionals and graduates in the North West . The course covers a multitude of housing related policies, strategies and practices. Whether you are from a development, regeneration, community or housing management background, the information is both highly relevant and informative. Compass is a fantastic networking opportunity and a good way to expand your knowledge on current housing issues.
Louise Gough
Development Officer, PLUS Developments
Compass was an excellent opportunity to network and share information with other young professionals working within the field of Regeneration. I feel I have developed a greater understanding of what roles different regeneration agencies play within Merseyside and how important partnership working between these agencies can be in order to develop successful projects.
Danny Byrne
Finance Officer, NewHartlands
What I found really useful was the opportunity to view what other organisations were doing and their honesty to say what had worked and what hadn't. This level of openness and insight, I feel, would not have been available by a more academic course that would have been focused on theory.
