Westminster Kingsway College – National Apprenticeship Week 2020
Hannah Cowell supported the Westminster Kingsway College in Kings Cross on 5 February 2020 to help attendees into the construction industry. Five hundred candidates came to the event to ask about their career progression and to gain a better understanding about accessing different fields within the sector and Hannah was able support candidates with work experience advise and job applications. Candidates where from all over London but Hannah managed to advise them about the employment teams within their borough and also helped some Hackney residents with making steps to begin to talk to the Hackney Works Team. Attending these events really help people network and gain confidence in applying for work which will help the sector continue to find diversity and new talent.
