🎉 Exciting news 🎉 Our international innovative ‘DreamBig@WTW’ program has launched in its second year. This intensive program is delivered in partnership with WTW a leading global advisory and broking solutions company. DreamBig@WTW is a unique three-year program that supports young people aged 15-18, from marginalised communities in the United Kingdom to develop their business and life skills. Our mentees will have access to skills-based training, learning about all aspects of WTW’s People, Risk, and Capital business segments – including the vital skills of problem-solving, data analytics, and communication. Urban Synergy and WTW mentors will meet with youth monthly during the school year to help them build confidence to ‘dream big’ and develop skills in pursuing their future careers. The program also offers paid summer internships within a line of business at WTW and guidance to reinvest skills in their communities. Dorothy Wilkes, Co-Head of DreamBig, said: “There is no greater legacy than preparing those who come after us to achieve exponentially even greater things than we did. This program affords access into a financial area of business and society where minority and marginalized groups have historically been underrepresented and, in some cases, excluded, and we are catalyzing that change.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dvcB2rQ3 WTW #corporatepartnerships #youngprofessionals #socialmobility #mentorshipmatters #ukcharity
