Skills for Success Careers Fair - Reaching out to all of my business contacts! This year we will be using our careers fairs to raise awareness of key skills needed in the workplace. Increasingly, employers are telling me that young people don’t have the skills they need for employment; to help tackle this we will be asking businesses to showcase the skills that they use on a day to day basis and to talk to pupils about their importance. If you feel you could contribute to this conversation, please get in touch! #Careerseducation #Skills #makeadifference

With employer engagement opportunities for pupils being a critical part of all pupils’ journeys towards the world of work please do reach out if you think you can offer support to this event! I am biased being a Business Teacher #lovebusiness #entrepreneurship of course 🙌 and welcome all inspiration for our young people into the wider world of finance, marketing and business opportunities! #partofrhs #rhsinspires #finance #apprenticeshipssuffolk

Reflecting on My Journey from the Military to the Private Sector Since retiring from the military in April 2010, I've had the opportunity to grow and understand what transitioning from active service to the private sector truly means. Here are some key lessons for veterans making this shift: 1.  Value of Military Experience: Unless you're a senior officer or sergeant major, your military experience may not be as highly valued in the private sector. While you might secure a supervisory or entry-level manager position, this is often due to having a degree rather than your military background. 2.  Understanding the Rules: Adjusting to the private sector takes time because the rules differ. In the military, experience and education directly influenced roles. In the private sector, these factors are not always understood or valued the same way. 3.  Quitting is an Option: In the military, quitting isn't an option—you see your enlistment through. In the private sector, the ability to quit is new and can be both a challenge and a temptation. It’s important to avoid job hopping, as this can harm your career progression. 4. Choosing the Right Industry: Some industries, like retail, can be particularly challenging for veterans. High demands, lack of support, and leaders who don’t take ownership can make it difficult to succeed. Finding an industry where your skills and experience are valued and supported is crucial. 5. Recruiting Veterans: Companies often recruit veterans for entry-level or junior leadership roles. Understanding this can help set realistic expectations and assist in planning your career path. Transitioning from the military to the private sector is a journey that requires patience, understanding, and strategy. These lessons have helped me navigate my path, and I hope they can provide some guidance for fellow veterans. #MilitaryTransition #VeteranCareers #CareerAdvice #Leadership #PrivateSectorSuccess

Thanks to Aldenham School for asking me to exhibit at their careers fair today. I was amazed by the interest and inquisitive questions posed by the students, and its certainly made me want to inspire more young people who, hopefully, will enter a superb profession in the not too distant future. We need more young advisers coming into the industry, so fingers crossed I managed to make an impression on a small number of intelligent, young people. Ps - when did I get to the point where it seems appropriate to refer to students as ‘young people’?! #wealthmanagement #careers #financialplanning #islinwm
