Meet the trainer

Simon Treece

Pre-Employment Coach

I work as part of a team who it’s fair to say, all love and enjoy our jobs. I love making teaching fun and engaging, encouraging Learners to embrace the challenges in education, inspiring them to reach their potential. Enthusiasm and laughter are key in a learning environment for me and each group takes something away with them as they grow in confidence and knowledge. I have worked as a Pre-Employment Vocational Coach for Futures for about 15 months, and in a similar teaching role for around 6 years. I currently teach Health and Social care and Employability, supporting people to gain qualifications in their chosen field of employment. When I am not at work I enjoy cooking both inside and out (BBQ), travelling around the UK in Monty our Motorhome and planning my next adventure whatever the weather.
