We're at Eureka are really looking forward to getting stuck into our upcoming ISMM programme in Houghton Regis!
Commissioned by Central Bedfordshire Council, we will work with a small group of NEET (not in education, employment or training) young people from the area to give them invaluable employability and life skills.
As in most of our programmes, we will deliver engaging workshops around the subject of finance, business and enterprise skills, as well as more immediate advice on how to best present oneself, how to engage with people and how to get that all important job interview...which will hopefully lead to bigger and better things.
Our ISMM programme is especially useful as sales and marketing knowledge are useful and important for virtually any career - all aspects of Sales and Marketing are explored and dealt with in an engaging manner, meaning that our young people will learn - in an often fun and interactive way - in depth requirements (eg how to sell ethically and how to market their business) as well as much more pragmatic skills like how to excel at customer services and to get ahead in life.
All successful participants of our programme will be awarded a nationally recognised qualification in Sales and Marketing (Level 1) from the industry's body - the Institute for Sales and Marketing Management (ISMM) - and the chance of paid work experience at the end of the course. Following on from the programme, Eureka will lend ongoing support in form of one-to-one clinics where we hope to be able to prepare our young people for upcoming job interviews or help themwith their cvs and encourage them to apply for suitable positions.
We are really looking forward to our enrolment day in February and cannot wait to meet our budding entrepreneurs....
