STAFF FROM NG HOMES CONNECTED with the employees of tomorrow during a 'Developing the Young Workforce' (DYW) careers days in North Glasgow.
ng homes Project Manager Greg Cann and Housing Officer Joy Henderson joined other local and national organisations at All Saints Secondary School for their October Careers Carousel to promote ng homes as an employer and the housing sector as a rewarding career. Students had the opportunity to engage with employers, learning about potential career paths, future education options and get a chance to ask questions of those working within each of the sectors present.
ng homes staff spoke about their own backgrounds and the routes they took into housing. The session also offered students a chance to gain understanding about the many careers within housing.
ng homes Project Manager Greg Cann praised the event saying "It is always good to get out into the community and meet local young people and their teachers. These careers carousels are a fantastic way for us to educate and inform youngsters of the role of Housing Associations and what we as a local employer offer."
The event aim to expand students' horizons and provide them with valuable insight into options after leaving school and is part of an ongoing project supporting local High Schools with employability initiatives in partnership with the DYW, Glasgow City Council's youth employability project.
Through connecting with employers, the initiatives hopes to empower students with the knowledge and confidence they need to take the next steps toward their future careers. The Careers Carousels continue to be a pivotal part of the students' educational experience, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success.
Principal Teacher of Developing the Young Workforce Mrs Farooq thanked ng homes for their longstanding support saying “Having local employers such as ng homes attend is invaluable to our event (as they are) based within our local community as well as having had some of our former pupils as employees. This collaboration not only provides students with real-world insights but also fosters a sense of community and continuity.”
“ng homes is an organisation who have always taken the time to engage with our school community and area – they are a valuable partner to All Saints Secondary School.”
