We know that knowledge is power — but this rings true even outside the classroom. This essential knowledge includes the guidance students receive through valuable resources like career counseling. In a recent 2023 Community College Survey of Student Engagement, it’s been found that over 90% of students choose career paths, but feel as though they are lacking essential information about important factors like internship opportunities and local job market info. This article, which includes a new CCSSE report about providing students with more information about their chosen career pathways, showcases why this valuable information is so vital for students entering the workforce: https://ow.ly/ozsl50RENyt #communitycollege #highereducation #research #2yearcollegeexperts

Following on from a post my friend Anna Hegarty posted a few weeks ago about an event she was running at a local Secondary School where she had requested people to provide questions to pose to those who had chosen to not to go to University and instead enter the world of work. I thought I would post the questions I suggested here for those of you who didn't choose the University route to answer, retrospectively, to help those young people considering a similar move: 1. What advice would you give someone considering not going to University? 2. If you could do it again, is there anything you’d do differently? 3. What advice would you go back and give your 17/18 year old self? 4. What skills do you think employers find most valuable for those starting their first job? 5. Are there any common misconceptions about working without a degree that you’d like to clarify? 6. How has entering the workplace straight from school impacted your career in the long term? 7. In what way did starting work earlier give you an advantage? Of course, entering the world of work is one option but Apprenticeships are another route that allow an individual to continue learning but, on the job, so to speak. And, with the Apprenticeship Careers Fair coming up next week at the Kia Oval on Tuesday 5th November, it seemed timely to share. To get the most out of these fairs, I would suggest preparing the following: 1. Do some research beforehand to find out who is exhibiting and identify which employers you wish to meet 2. Set a goal or two for you to aim to achieve with every employer you meet 3. Prepare a list of questions to ask them to help you understand their recruitment process and how best to prepare for each stage and the timelines 3. Prepare a short elevator pitch and practice delivering it 4. Have ready copies of your stand out CV so you can leave with them Good luck!

Advice for 2025 Apprentices: Quality over quantity! When it comes to applying for degree apprenticeships, it’s tempting to think that sending out as many applications as possible will increase your chances of success. But in reality, quality always beats quantity. Generic CVs and cover letters may seem efficient, but they often fail to capture what makes you the right fit for a particular role. Companies appreciate candidates who’ve taken the time to understand their culture and values. Rather than applying broadly, it’s more effective to invest time in thoroughly researching each company: 1. Learn about their values, mission, and culture. – Explore their website, read articles, and check out their employee advice pages to understand what drives them. 2. Network with current employees, especially apprentices. – Ask about their experiences to get a genuine feel for the role and the company. This can provide valuable insights that guide your application. 3. Tailor your CV and cover letter. – Align your skills and experiences directly with what the company needs. Personalizing each application shows that you’re truly invested in the opportunity, rather than just the position. Taking the time to craft detailed, customized applications can significantly boost your chances of success aswell as ensuring that you’re applying to companies that truly match your aspirations. It’s not about how many you apply to but how well you connect with each company. #DegreeApprentiships #Interviews #Apprentices2025 💕

Prompted by a post from Rob Illidge, I’ve been thinking about what we do, as businesses and professionals, to support schools in preparing the next generation of workers. I’ve asked a number of my connections for help with this and most have brushed me off or plain ignored me but others like James Willetts, Lewis Ellis and Fraser Chapman have gone out of their way to offer their time, help and guidance which has made a real and measurable difference to students futures. When these fantastic young people enter the world of work I hope they return to the companies that have supported them. At NetWeaver - Web Hosting, I’m proud of the support we’ve provided to local schools, both in terms of time to support events and sponsorship, and training in the form of apprenticeships. I can say with absolute certainty that some of our very best people came through this route. We all have opinions on the next generation but unless we’re doing all we can to support them, our opinion has no value at all. If we want the best people in our companies, we need to help them get there. So, what could you do? Could you support an event at your local school? Pay for some equipment? Offer a placement? Take on an apprentice? Offer an online course? If you’re anywhere near Bolton I can probably hook you up with a contact at our amazing UTC. We have a careers fair coming up. If you’re not, send a couple of emails - you might just be amazed at how much you get out of it. #education
