Myth Busting - Work Experience If you offer a placement you don't get given a student to take, you can interview and find the student to find who's the best fit for your business. This is a win win, you know who you're getting and the students get valuable interview experience, we all know how daunting interviews are! Extra win, if you have a staff mentor you are looking to be on an interview panel for the first time, they can also use this as practice. A staff member looking to progress to team leader, mentoring a work experience is a great first step to developing management skills. 🔹 Lou Earp - Dutton Gregory Solicitors 🔹FREC🔹 example below is wonderful to see. In the New Forest Sam Sutton takes this approach as their work in outdoor activities is niche it's important to have the right student to ensure the experience is great for them and for Sam's team. If you interview for work experience students add a comment, I'd love to hear more examples. For work experience at our local colleges contact Claire Pacariz for Brockenhurst and Pamela Broad for Totton. 🎯 Jodi Fair Sara Warry-Powell Jamie Webber Matt Rowland #workexperience #skills #newforestbusiness

Here’s an interesting question for donors to ask non-profits: “How do you innovate?” As we see it, any organization that wants to be a catalyst for change cannot get set in their ways. Innovation has to be part of the culture and it’s one of the metrics that we’d like to be measured by.

At BEN, we’re all about seeking new ways to expand learning opportunities for public school teachers and students. New things we introduced into our 2023 programs: collaborations with Bermuda Zoological Society and Planet Math to reduce transportation costs, four new field trip expeditions around the island, an expansion to our BEN Book Club for 4-5 year olds and increased professional development offerings for teachers.   However, the real game changer has been our summer reading program. This is an intervention program targeting students in Grade 2 who have not fully mastered phonics and the alphabetic code. With limited spaces available to just one year group, we wondered how this summer program could make more impact on reading challenges in schools. Our solution: to create five paid internships for education undergraduates giving them first-hand experience of evidence-based reading teaching methods.  We couldn’t have done this without the support of our summer program host, Somersfield Academy Bermuda and the generous support of Fortitude Re and Centennial Bermuda Foundation.  Innovation isn’t just a buzzword: it’s the backbone of our mission to build a professional learning community that expands opportunities for Bermuda’s public school teachers and students. #schoolsuccess #educationalleadership #bermuda

Summer breaks offer a unique opportunity to advance your personal and academic growth, inviting you to explore, experiment, learn, travel, and craft memorable experiences. It's essential to understand that merely attending summer school is not a golden ticket to Ivy League admissions. To truly stand out in the competitive college admissions landscape, it's crucial to leverage your summer in ways that demonstrate curiosity, initiative, and a capacity for leadership and innovation. Engage in community service projects, start a small business, conduct independent research, or immerse yourself in a new culture through travel. These experiences can vividly illustrate your unique qualities and potential to admissions committees. Summer is not just a season; it's a canvas for personal growth and exploration. It's about painting a picture of who you are and who you aspire to become. We encourage you to book a consultation with us to discover strategic ways to maximize your summer break.
