What Motivates Us

Hi Girls,

I found this great video and think you should have a little watch, it's only 10 minutes and will make you think a bit more about what you want from your work.

Work Experience Ideas!

Hi Girls,

This year we're going to be talking about the importance of having work experience. Some of you have an idea what you want to do and others are not too sure. Either way here are some opportunities in television that you may find interesting:

If any of these look interesting and you'd like to talk us about applying feel free to ask any one of us and we'll be happy to support you.

Also if you have any thoughts about places you would like to do work experience please let us know :)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Girls!

2012 will be such an awesome year for you ladies. You finish your GCSEs this year and start your A-Levels. Not to scare you too much, but how you do at this stage will have a big impact on the rest of your life. Employers will look at your GSCE and your A-Level results for consistent academic achievement.

After our first meeting, we asked you what you wanted to get out of RAISE. Some people said motivation, others career direction and for some, they wanted networking opportunities. We will try to make this all possible. The key thing is that the change you want, starts with YOU. Success won't come to you, YOU have to go after it. Opportunities don't just come, you create them.

They say it takes 30 days to make a habit…so as we start the year, think carefully about what goals you want to achieve this year. Share them below if you like, and we'll work on keeping them!

We look forward to seeing you in January, and spread the word to those girls who couldn’t make the first session…that we start on the 11th of January!
