Unlocking Future Paths: Aisha from EY Foundation Inspires Sixth Formers
In a bid to enlighten and empower the future workforce, our Sixth Form recently had the privilege of hosting Aisha from EY Foundation.
Aisha shared valuable insights about the exciting opportunities that EY (Ernst & Young) offers, ranging from work experience to apprenticeships.
Her visit not only provided a glimpse into the professional world but also sparked enthusiasm among students to explore diverse career paths.
The EY Advantage
Aisha delved into the essence of EY, emphasising its commitment to fostering talent and innovation.
EY, as a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction, and advisory services, opens doors for individuals looking to make a mark in the professional world. Aisha highlighted how EY's inclusive and collaborative culture allows individuals to thrive and grow in their careers.
Work experience opportunities
One of the focal points of Aisha's talk was the array of work experience opportunities that EY provides. Whether it's a short internship or a more extensive placement, students were intrigued by the chance to gain real-world exposure and insights into their chosen fields.
Aisha shared success stories of individuals who kick-started their careers through EY's work experience programs, leaving a lasting impression on our aspiring professionals.
Navigating apprenticeships
Aisha also shed light on the various apprenticeship programs offered by EY. Recognising that the traditional academic path might not be suitable for everyone, EY provides apprenticeships that combine practical experience with professional qualifications.
Students were particularly interested in how apprenticeships serve as a stepping stone into the professional world, offering a unique blend of learning and earning.
Interactive session
Aisha's presentation was not a one-way street. The interactive session allowed students to ask questions, seek advice, and gain personalized insights into their potential future at EY.
Aisha's firsthand experiences and anecdotes resonated with the students, making the possibilities at EY feel tangible and within reach.
Inspiration to aspiration
Beyond the details of EY's programs, Aisha's visit served as an inspiration for our Sixth Formers. The talk encouraged students to think beyond conventional career paths, consider alternative routes, and dream big. Aisha's journey from being a young professional to her role at EY Foundation illustrated the power of determination, continuous learning, and seizing opportunities.
Aisha's visit from EY Foundation was more than just a presentation—it was a catalyst for our students' aspirations. The information shared about EY's work experience and apprenticeship opportunities, coupled with Aisha's motivating narrative, left a lasting impression on our Sixth Formers. As they navigate the choices ahead, the insights gained from this assembly will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping their future paths. We extend our gratitude to Aisha and EY Foundation for this enlightening experience.
