The Excel Course That Changed Everything

Meet Akshatha Veerendra, a recent addition to the team of Energy Analysts at JLL (Jones Lang Lasalle).

Akshatha is a woman of considerable merit. Proficient in 6 languages and with honors in sustainability, Akshatha is working towards and prosperous and impactful career in Energy and Finance. After gaining her Master of Science from the University of Edinburg and having worked in consultancy for a number of years, she found herself in a relevant, though excel-dependent job role and with limited training in the subject. 

To JLL, it was clear that Akshatha’s merits outweighed her lack of excel experience. Thus, JLL opted for employee development training as a solution for getting her the skills she needed. As a “vital skill for anyone looking to work in Energy and Finance,” integrated excel training promised to be beneficial on a variety of levels.

Souters was able to provide Akshatha with a bespoke training programme, which was tailored to the specific excel functions required for her to analyse data from many different countries at once (Akshatha is responsible for managing the HSBC accounts for the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Africa). Not only was the course incredibly efficient in teaching her the appropriate skills, but its bespoke nature also ensured that she was able to immediately apply her newfound skills in the workplace.

When asked how Souters’ bespoke excel course has benefitted her career, Akshatha replied, “the course gave me a good set of advanced Excel skills and gave me the confidence and technical expertise needed to succeed in my job. It greatly improved by output at work and I have been able to guide others in the team, rather than having to ask other people for help.”

When one considers the customized training, technical expertise and confidence provided by this course, it was an obvious choice. Akshatha is now fully equipped with the tools and resources to thrive in not only her current role, but in opportunities to come.

Akshatha has already recommended Souters courses to her friends and colleagues.
