💥 We see posts every day on how people and businesses want to do more in the DEI space (sometimes not actually contributing more than a post!) Here is your chance to do something tangible and contribute! Our partnered Girls Grammar School based in South London are hosting their first ever careers fair on the 27th March. 500-700 students are expected to attend from year 11 & Sixth Form. We need companies to provide students with valuable insights into career paths, industries and opportunities available to them. Especially #EarlyCareers #apprenticeships #internships #graduateopportunities Why help? ✔ Supporting events like this brings career paths and role models to the attention of students who might not otherwise consider them. ✔ This exposure sparks interest, challenges stereotypical perceptions, and expands their understanding of what's possible. ✔ This early engagement combats biases that might discourage students from certain fields due to perceived lack of fit or belonging. Please DM me or get in touch via email for more info - [email protected] or Naushine Robinson on [email protected] Future CodeHers Oliver Bernard

Was Six Months Truly Enough? For the past six months, I was privileged to be a beneficiary of the Women's Techsters Fellowship of 2024 as organized by Tech4Dev. Now that the theory and Capstone project phase is over, it is time for the career phase. It is about to be another 4-6months of hands-on practical, internship maybe. Sighs! While I listened to alumnis in today's Career fair, I travelled down memory lane to pay the past a visit. I acknowledged that the past six months have been intense. However, it is beginning to look like intense was not enough. It was time to move away from intense to a time of mentorship. it is time to have somebody who will make me do what I can do and what I thought I couldn't do. It is time to yield myself to someone who allows me to see the hope inside myself. It is time for #mentorshipinproductmanagement #productmanagement #internship #products

Empowering students with opportunities to dress professionally is crucial for their personal and career development. Dressing professionally not only boosts confidence but also helps students develop a professional mindset, preparing them for the workforce. It teaches them the importance of making a strong first impression and conveys respect for the opportunities they are given. Providing these opportunities, whether through internships, school events, or career fairs, helps bridge the gap between academic life and professional careers, ensuring students are ready to step into the business world with poise and confidence. Let's support our students in every way possible, including how they present themselves to the world. #ProfessionalDevelopment #StudentSuccess #CareerReadiness
