Hornchurch, Greater London (PRWEB UK) 21 July 2013 -- Havering College of Further and Higher Education (http://www.havering-college.ac.uk) has been working in partnership with employment consultancy Our Talented Future to offer future entrepreneurs the opportunity to develop their skill sets through interaction with professional mentors and key speakers.
Eighteen of the college’s Business and Fashion students have completed the Our Talented Future Employability Award programme which culminated in a celebration at a local restaurant.
Ayesha, 20, from Rush Green, Romford, who has just completed a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business and Charlotte, 18, who is on the Level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Fashion course, were selected for 'Outstanding Achievement' prizes.
Their special awards were based on their commitment to the award process, their continual professional focus and proactive approach to working with the Our Talented Future team as well as the various client mentors and speakers relevant to their future careers.
Ayesha said: “This scheme is so beneficial and I highly recommend it to students. Our Talented Future identifies your skills and aspirations to find you a suitable mentor, improve your CV and potential job opportunities.”
Charlotte, who lives in South Ockendon, said: “The Our Talented Future Employability Award has been a huge support through my last year of college, helping me and giving me great advice and opportunities for future life.”
Adam Watling Co-Founder of Our Talented Future said: “We have been extremely proud of the Havering College students we have worked with us over the last academic year. The Employability Award has allowed us to embed a process which not only develops students’ confidence and professional skills, but also provides a platform for our recruitment partners to engage with outstanding FE talent.
“We look forward to delivering the award in 2013/14 and working closely with Havering College to tackle the ongoing issue of youth unemployment by delivering further professional training and careers opportunities.”
