Kickstart Employability Programme<br />
This<br />
year <strong>Cranford</strong> took part in the Kickstart programme<br />
run by the Charity SPARK. Mr Ladva and Ms Saroya<br />
delivered a programme of employability skills to students in which they<br />
learnt about available careers in the borough of Hounslow. Students<br />
were astounded by the large number of global companies who have<br />
their HQ in the local area. We explored pay, job satisfaction, working<br />
environments and core skills. The second day of the programme saw<br />
all the students attend a full day of workshops and activities at a range<br />
of businesses included Hilton, Heathrow Construction, GSK, BP and<br />
Allianz. The students were able to learn about the different business<br />
functions in each establishment and were surprised at the number<br />
and variety of career opportunities in each company. Students had an<br />
opportunity to network with staff from a variety of experiences and<br />
backgrounds before completing a business challenge!<br />

Kickstart has been an amazing experience for me, it has opened<br />
my eyes to careers other than a science based career. I have<br />
developed many skills during this programme and feel more<br />
confident with new people. I can network confidently without<br />
hesitating, and ask questions without thinking twice about what<br />
people might think. Before the programme I was focused on<br />
University and gaining a degree in medicine/ dentistry, and I knew that my love for business would be left behind like<br />
a dream. However after going to GSK I realised that there are so many more opportunities available in the real world.<br />
As well as working in a science based firm (which is a global giant) I can incorporate my business skills and contribute<br />
to areas involving; marketing, HR, Research and the supply chain. This programme has also got me looking at Degree<br />
level apprenticeships.<br />
Before going to GSK I was excited, but also a bit nervous because I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was scared about being<br />
exposed to many other careers that I would be interested in and then coming back being more confused about what I<br />
would do. However it was the opposite, being shown more career options showed me what I really wanted to do and<br />
my strengths as well as my goals. GSK was an amazing experience itself: the activities, the challenges and the building<br />
were something I will remember for a long time. On the way home I was considering working with GSK as it has such a<br />
homely atmosphere, where employees are given many facilities and people are so friendly and always ready to help. One<br />
thing that really appealed to me was the travelling involved in the jobs that GSK offered. I was impressed! As travelling<br />
all over the globe is one thing I have always wanted to do whether it be through my work or as a gap year.<br />
