What happens when you take an app, passionate colleagues, a TV screen, a banner and a bunch of sweets to a careers fair?
Well… a lot apparently…
On 27 May 2022 we had the pleasure of meeting over 200 students at the US Charitable Trust Careers Fair at E-ACT Crest Academy eager to find out more about our app that seeks to bridge the gap to accessing opportunities. One of our highlights was speaking to a young person who at the age of 15 had already discovered her love for psychology and the impact she could make by excelling in such an industry.
In under 3 hours with over 170 responses given by students, we discovered the following about their aspirations and career goals:
27% of students aspire to be in the medical, healthcare and pharmaceutical industry
16% of students aspire to be in Sports
14% of students aspire to be in the Creative, Design and Film industry
12% aspire to study Law
9% of students aspire to be in IT, Gaming and Computer Design
8% of students aspire to be involved in Science, Engineering & Aviation
9% of students aspire to be in Business and Real estate
5% of students aspire to be in Banking & Finance
Inspired by the conversations had with the students of E Crest Academy, we look forward to partnering with more schools and onboarding the next generation of entrepreneurs, change makers and leaders.
