Being in a major urban area can offer direct access to thriving industries and influential networks. It's fascinating to see how both rural and urban campuses provide unique advantages that can shape your future. What's your take? How do you see location influencing your choice of a #BusinessSchool and your future #career? 🤔 https://lnkd.in/dhyUJar8 #UCLA #UCLAAnderson

For just over 4 years and 8 months, I've been working on a project with my business partner, Victor Brittain-Wong, and our good friends and team of volunteers, Chris Eley, Marietta Birkholtz, Mark Sanger, Noel Robinson FRSL HONS (GMIA), Sandra Carito and Sophia White, over at Kelmscott School in North East London, each year teaching a cohort of 50 students "Practical Success Principles" under our brand International Career & Entrepreneur Events (ICEE) Ltd. It has been an amazing journey, working closely with Chris to ensure we meet all school guidelines, as well as ensuring the content we've produced is of benefit to the students. At first, the students aren't sure what we're on about ... but, as they start to engage with the content, and us, they open up about their dreams and goals, as we take them on a journey of preparing for the world outside of school. As the team is so diverse, not only in our individual education, skillset and experiences, but also our cultural backgrounds, we are able to share broad and varied real-world information, knowledge and experiences that benefits the students, providing them with a toolkit they can refer to as they navigate their futures. We'd love to have more input from the following: - Creative Industries (Theatre, Music, Art, Design, etc.), - Food/Culinary, - Marketing, - Sales, - Finance & Economics, - Sciences, - Business, - Law, - Careers, - HR, - Politics, - Media (Print, Radio, etc.), - Environment, - Medicine, - Engineering, - Technology, - IT, - Entrepreneurs & SMEs, and everything else in between! So, if you're an individual or company based in London, and are interested in helping to shape the lives of the younger generation and would be prepared to offer up a couple of hours of your time a school quarter (!) to volunteer alongside us, please reach out so we can arrange to meet with you and explain in a bit more detail what it is we do and how we do it.

I'm thrilled to announce that over the past few months, JA's 2023-2024 Company Program is coming to an end! It has been a great journey filled with growth and highlights that will leave a strong imprint on my memories. 🎓 Key Learning Experiences: It began with immersive training to hands-on projects, the program provided a holistic learning experience around the inner workings of a real company. I had an integral role in managing the company's finances which initially brought a few challenges. Ranging from our inept abilities with Excel to financial terminology, we adapted into competent individuals with the help of highly qualified mentors. 🌟 Highlights and Successes: Whether it was reaching 20,000+ views on our social media account or smashing our goal of selling 1000 units, it brought tremendous validation and encouragement to our business. It was truly incredible how we were able to accomplish so much in such a short time. 💼 Overall Impact: I'd like to end this transformative journey with my deep appreciation towards my mentors and organizers of the JA Company Program. I would recommend this side quest for anyone looking for a detour from their conquest with pursuing post-secondary education or career path 🗺 "If you're interested in embarking on your own entrepreneurial journey, consider joining the 2024-2025 Company Program! https://bit.ly/43NgX6b" #JACompanyprogram #JacentralOntario JA Central Ontario

Fueled by renowned academic institutions and a strong job market, Atlanta consistently stands among the top talent hubs in the United States. Eight universities in the metro area appear in the Wall Street Journal/College Pulse Best Colleges in the U.S., and Atlanta generates an unparalleled influx of highly skilled graduates ready to enter the professional arena. Metro Atlanta ranks seventh in JLL’s 2024 U.S. Talent Hub analysis, coming in only behind “Gateway markets” like New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The report explores why Atlanta continues to attract and retain high-caliber graduates, making it a prime location for growth. According to a recently released study by Forbes, Atlanta also ranks No. 1 as the most educated city in the U.S., taking into account numerous factors including bachelor’s degree completion rate, number of graduate degrees, and gender and racial gaps in degree attainment. . . . #lawfirmgrowth #lateralhiring #jobsearch #jobopportunities #promotion #law #atlanta #populationgrowth #transactionallaw #georgia #litigation #flexibility #lawfirms #atlantalawyer #legalrecruiting #AtlantaLegalRecruiters #theRMNagency #legalrecruitingfirm #legalrecruiter #legalrecruiters #legalsearch #atlantalegalrecruiters #atlantalawfirms #biglaw #smalllawfirm #inhousecounsel #associate #partner
