i'm an enterprise advisor in a local
0:10
school
0:11
actually supporting the school
0:12
strategically and also through
0:14
activities the enterprise advisor
0:17
programme that's led by the careers and
0:19
enterprise company and cipd are one of
0:22
its partners that's the charleston
0:24
institute of personnel development this
0:25
particular role was i was really keen
0:27
because i saw my own children come
0:29
through school and the careers advice
0:30
may not have been the greatest may not
0:32
have been the best but we've now got an
0:34
opportunity again looking at that
0:36
collaboration all work together of how
0:38
we can actually give back so for me it
0:41
was actually giving back to a school to
0:43
help the careers champions but also to
0:46
help the kids think about what that real
0:48
world of work is and where those skill
0:50
shortage areas might be as well my role
0:52
is very much to talk to the youngsters
0:55
about the future of work what it means
0:57
to work in an organisation what business
1:00
is about and i can give them that
1:02
through my vast years of experience
1:04
working with an hr and l d learning and
1:06
development to actually support what
1:08
they need to do what they need to have
1:10
and the skills they need to have going
1:12
into that world of work we have a
1:13
mentoring program that i've set up with
1:15
the careers lead and we're actually
1:17
giving students softer skills so it's
1:19
great to have you here today one of the
1:21
things that i did mention which was
1:23
really important was about that coaching
1:25
and mentoring
1:26
and how they are really amongst the most
1:28
important skills that you can have
1:31
going into the world of work but
1:33
actually to start that off from when
1:35
you're at school is is really really
1:37
good for you so you're all going to get
1:38
a chance of being a mentor
1:40
you're going to have a chance of being a
1:41
mentee and you're not going to have a
1:42
chance of doing feedback

the impact of good careers advice for
1:51
young people nowadays is life changing
1:54
it's something that's crucial it's an
1:56
essential part and it is necessary and
1:59
they need it so should we give it a go
2:01
you're all up for it
2:09
and it might be that because you want to
2:11
establish a goal what is it i can do for
2:14
you today
2:15
[Music]
2:18
and what's the best thing you can do to
2:20
help you improve the purpose is really
2:22
to just provide good careers advice
2:25
throughout the school enabling children
2:28
to all have an opportunity of having
2:29
those experiences with employers
2:32
so i think we very much talk to
2:33
youngsters as if what do you want to do
2:35
when you leave school
2:36
it's actually what do you want to do but
2:38
what's your ultimate goal where do you
2:39
want to be in the future as well
2:44
just keep going and focus on one thing
2:46
you'll get there see i like the fact you
2:47
said you like helping people school's
2:49
like careers programme has made me feel
2:50
more comfortable about leaving school to
2:52
like go in a better direction to like
2:55
the future and where i want to be it
2:57
helps people think about what the
2:59
different options for them are like
3:00
apprenticeships or going to college it's
3:02
made me feel more confident because i
3:04
can now see clearly what i want to do my
3:07
school's had a good impact on career
3:09
aspirations because they do make it seem
3:11
as if like anything is possible that
3:13
good careers advice
3:15
could be the difference between these
3:16
students being in education being in
3:19
employment being in training or not
3:28
i think in terms of a school and your
3:31
role as an enterprise advisor the
3:32
mentoring and the coaching has been
3:34
transformational with so many of the
3:36
students
3:39
i cherish the fact that your expertise
3:42
helps me helps the students and helps us
3:44
as a school and i know that it does make
3:46
a difference and i know that down the
3:48
line in years to come we will see the
3:50
difference when we see the students
3:51
coming back and they will be in the jobs
3:53
that they're meant to be in but that's
3:54
working in that partnership but it's you
3:56
giving up your time coming into school
