Our aim is for every school and college in our region to be matched with an Enterprise Adviser by the end of the 2024 academic year. The Enterprise Advisers in our network have already made a huge difference to the lives of young people across the EM3 region and we would love you to join us.
"My interest in the role was sparked by knowing the very real need to provide real world exposure to young people as they prepare to make significant early career choices. I think it’s important to ensure that we minimise the ‘NEET (not in employment, education or training)‘ exit from secondary education and I have also long held the view that education is not simply for educations sake - it’s a means to an end not an end in itself. I see my role as an Enterprise Adviser as addressing a macro issue in a micro way - one student at a time as everyone is different. We’ve had successes at Kings but there is always more to do.”
