Experience means that your chosen candidate already knows what it's like to study a subject or work in a particular career. Experience has helped them to decide that this is right for them already, not after their first day! Experience means that they already have some of the skills they need in order to succeed.
Experience matters but when companies are cutting back on internships / work experience places and finding a decent summer job is like finding a needle in a haystack how can you get the experience you need to get ahead and succeed with your applications?
We know how important gaining skills and experience are and that is why we have created Futurewise Courses and Events. These offer you the opportunity to gain experience, learn new skills and meet with leading employers and universities so you can be better prepared when making applications.
Gap and Volunteering Shows – To start off you could volunteer your services for free and get experience by helping others. Through volunteering you can show how you are a good communicator, problem solver, ideas person, leader and much more. We run free to attend Gap and volunteering shows across the country each year. You can come along and speak with like minded individuals and organisations and find out ways in which you can get experience through a Gap break and volunteering.
Skills Development Training – Business and Interview skills are very important and we run a number of personal skills development sessions with a professional skills trainer. You can learn about how to succeed at interviews as well as develop core body language and presentation skills to become an effective leader.
