Welcome to the second half of Safaraz's conversation with Lisa Capper MBE, the CEO and Principal of Sandwell Colleges. In this episode, Lisa takes us behind the scenes of the Sector Work-Based Academy Programmes (SWAPS), revealing how these innovative initiatives are equipping adults with the skills needed to thrive in hospital settings and through collaboration with community organizations, schools, and employers, individuals are overcoming personal challenges and finding new pathways to success.
Lisa also opens up about her passionate commitment to inclusive education, inspired by her son's experience with unilateral hearing loss. As the first female chair of the National Deaf Children's Society, Lisa shares her personal mission to create resources and support for children with disabilities.
Finally, we learn the value of building high-performing teams through a culture of shared vision and alignment, where empowerment and development are key.
