Building Leaders

I recently had the privilege of returning to Guildford College to deliver a workshop to L1 plumbing students. I asked the students ‘’how many of you have heard of the career path a lawyer, doctor, footballer?’’ Unsurprisingly, they all knew. But when asked ‘’How about Surveying?’’ No one really knew, and neither did I until I hit university. Surveying is such a hidden profession. Teachers, Career Leads, Career Advisors, Parents etc – no one knows about it, so no one ever says “How about surveying?” Indeed released an article ‘Best Jobs of 2024 in the UK’ https://lnkd.in/ekWNqiGh. Based on metrics such as opportunity and demand, high salary, and workplace flexibility. Surveying roles filled up two of the top three spots with Project Management coming in at no.1 and Quantity Surveying coming in at no.3. Overall, it was great to expand the student’s awareness and introduce them to the diverse opportunities within the field of surveying; another avenue for them to consider as a potential career path.

Well done' New Futures Network, great to see a large company such as Willmott Dixon, this here, I am supportive of rehabilitation and training in prisons and society that's why in two weeks I will offer, the same training but from level 1 -5 in construction, wet trades and carpentry and Dry Lining, with all the safety training including PASMA, H&S from L1 to management, including NVQ's 2/3 in different trades, and this I have worked hard for for the last (6) years, but there is areas within the structure of your programme I would like to explore for the benefit of those participating in your work programme. The reason I say this is because as a person who used the prison system as a residential college in two different training prisons, that I used to specifically for vocational training to get my self work ready, from what the graduates said, I am not fully convinced that you are delivering a programme that is as plentiful and rewarding as it could be for the learners, I done what you are saying 15 years ago, and posted about what you are doing 6 years ago, as a former recidivist who is putting my own programme in place, I feel I can help you both with areas of your programme and intervention which by the sounds of there voices, clearly needs, because I am convinced, that' that is the voices of actors, if not , then you are no where near the level of intervention you need to be in order to give these guys what they need, what did he say instead of going back to his old ways, that's just, with respect, I wont say anymore, lets wait for the data and results of the programme. If they had just been through my programme they would be jumping with joy full of beans and enthusiasm, raring to go, skills , skills , skills, Hmm 🕵️♀️ New Future......
