Inspiring Testimonials from Enterprise Advisers Making a Difference
I have a genuine passion for empowering young people, and
my own counselling journey gave me a burning desire to
create meaningful change through volunteering… I saw the
Enterprise Adviser scheme as a chance to impact strategy
and create a long-lasting impact within education
Sanj Kamal, Enterprise Adviser
Being an Enterprise Adviser has both personal and business benefits. From a
business point of view, we get to connect with our college and get early sight of
our future talent. On a personal level, you get to challenge yourself, connect with
others and learn new skills which can enhance your role. If you are passionate
about improving outcomes for young people, the EA role is perfect for you
Richard Hardesty, Enterprise Adviser
I really wanted to pay something back to the school system,
whilst growing our next generation’s working culture. There
are so many myths out there that young people hear, and I
want to break those stereotypes
Emma Taylor, Enterprise Adviser
Every Enterprise Adviser role is different, with
different experiences and different schools, but they
are tied together through bringing the reality of the
working world into school
David Hallwood, Enterprise Adviser
If you really want to make a difference to young people and
your community, I’d really recommend being an Enterprise
Adviser over anything else
Daniel English, Enterprise Adviser
I'd
like to emphasise how good the recruitment process for the
Enterprise Adviser role is; I always knew where I was, the team
were so efficient and there was good training. To anyone who is
nervous about it, I would say that the onboarding team will be
helpful in explaining what the role is and what you need to do. It
was tremendous and a positive part of the process for me
Jon Tobbell, Enterprise Adviser
I always thought I had a challenging job, but there is no comparison
with what these teachers are doing with the pupil's day
in, day out and with passion, loyalty and commitment. To anyone
considering becoming an Enterprise Adviser, I would say it is the most
amazing experience. I feel incredibly privileged to be part of it.
Dawn Collins, Enterprise Adviser
I passionately believe that longevity as an Enterprise Adviser
can be found in seeking mutually beneficial scenarios for
both school and employer. Engaging with a SEND school has
helped us at Aaron Services better educate our team on
diversity and inclusion, inspiring us to offer more community
value to our local contracts
Kirstie Payne , Enterprise Adviser
Being an Enterprise Adviser has made me a better employer, it has
made me a better customer, and a better supplier. I am more aware
of people I deal with in my business life, I have much better
engagement from the people who work for me, including higher
retention rates. The way we recruit and the way I run my business
has changed!
Richard Osborne, Enterprise Adviser
As a business, we can be far more inclusive and focus our efforts on
young people who don’t traditionally get access to the range of
opportunities we’re able to provide. And by being more targeted we’ve
been able to learn more about what works – for example we’ve changed
when we recruit and when we ramp up our engagement activities
Rob Dodds, Enterprise Adviser
As well as making a difference in people’s lives, it is possible to see the
potential recruitment benefits for us. We’re always looking for new
young people to come on board with good skills who are work
ready. So, it’s a win-win really. To anyone considering becoming an
Enterprise Adviser, don’t worry if you feel out of your depth at first, just
take it slowly and expect it to be a learning experience. You don’t need to
know everything or have all the answers, just get involved.”
Gill Price, Enterprise Adviser
A good tip for people considering becoming an Enterprise
Adviser is to make sure you read through the job role thoroughly.
The role is more than just going into schools and delivering talks.
It’s a strategic role and you need to make sure that you can
commit to it and be available to support the school as needed. If
you are able to commit, it’s very rewarding
Hollie Whittles, Enterprise Adviser
Being an Enterprise Adviser provides me the opportunity to
collaborate with such a vibrant and engaged Network of proactive
business leaders and organisations who have a genuine interest in
enhancing young people’s lives
Dan Lamoon, Enterprise Adviser
The role gave me much satisfaction, and developed my own mentoring skills,
along with deepening my knowledge of an unfamiliar field. I have progressed
to a Board Member at another local school, and the EA experience gave me
the confidence and skills to become their Careers Link Governor. As a result, I
can use my prior learning and experience to benefit another group of young
people.
Helen Gopsill, Enterprise Adviser
Being an EA supported me with building a professional network
locally and developing my strategic operational skillset.
Being an EA has transformed my own career journey, and boosted
my confidence and professional courage as a people professional
and provided me a reason to keep evaluating and reflecting on my
own career
.
Rebecca Healy, Enterprise Adviser
Being an EA is incredibly rewarding! I work with the Careers Leader in my
school to make improvements to provision and get to see the impact
these changes make. I’ve witnessed first-hand how careers education,
when delivered well, can make a difference to how young people see the
world of work and the opportunities available to them. I would 100%
recommend the role to anyone thinking about getting involved
Matt
Johnson, Enterprise Adviser
I would say if you’re thinking about becoming an Enterprise
Adviser, don’t hesitate. Jump in and share your story, your
experience and your knowledge so you can shape the
future workforce, help them to enjoy their careers and take
up roles that benefit everybody.
