Partnerships Manager at Career Ready. I help Career Ready support the social mobility of young people (age 15-18) across Scotland, by connecting students to employers who provide mentoring with a paid 4-week internship.
Well done to Career Ready students Cara-Louise and Duncan who completed a fantastic 4-week internship at William Grant & Sons in Dufftown, Moray, supported by brilliant mentors ian kirkbride and Russell Scott. Our Career Ready Moray Local Area Board member Henry Angus attended Cara-Louise and Duncan's end of internship presentations and shared the hands-on experience they both gained and contributed during their internship: 🗣 Student Duncan’s project involved installing a water pump outside one of the still houses. This meant he could combine his interest in electrical work and introduced him to engineering as well. He had to scope out the whole project, order the parts and conduct the installation. It was clear that he had worked hard and the pump is now proving it’s worth in the overall function of the plant. Cara-Louise was able to pursue her interest in architecture by working on some new designs of how to improve the aesthetic look of still house 2 which was built in 1971. Cara’s work with a local firm will have been of benefit to her as well as WM Grant. Her presentation was excellent with lots of photographs and a clear timeline for the ongoing work. It was a great pleasure to be at WM Grant and witness Cara-Louise and Duncan’s presentations. They were both excellent with two great mentors in Ian and Russell. 🗣 Thank you to everyone at William Grant & Sons - particularly ian kirkbride and Russell Scott, Lorna Laird, Gail Campbell Assoc CIPD, Stuart Watts and Stuart Maxwell for your support.
