Upskill and Find Work
Empowering communities through skills development and work opportunities
About the initiative
Everyone deserves a fair chance at success, regardless of their socioeconomic position.
At Awa Business School, we believe in the transformative power of education and employment to break the cycle of poverty and create a brighter future for individuals and their communities. We understand the challenges faced by young people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and we are committed to facilitating support to ensure they can thrive.
Developing skills within local communities
Socioeconomic circumstances have a major impact on our lives, from health outcomes to educational attainment and social mobility. Research shows that individuals from less advantaged backgrounds often face greater barriers in securing stable employment and accessing opportunities for socio-economic growth. This not only affects them personally but also perpetuates a cycle of poverty that can span generations.
Upskill and Find Work is an initiative born out of the belief that everyone deserves a fair chance at success. We are dedicated to bridging the opportunity gap by equipping individuals with the skills and resources they need to excel in the job market.
Interview preparation
One of the most critical aspects of finding employment is acing the interview process. We provide comprehensive interview preparation services, offering guidance on interview techniques, resume building, and effective communication strategies. Our expert team will help you showcase your unique talents and experiences, ensuring you make a lasting impression on potential employers.
Work placement opportunities
Securing work experience is often a significant hurdle for individuals looking to enter or re-enter the job market. Our initiative connects participants with reputable organisations and businesses that offer valuable work placement opportunities.
