Students honoured at Career Ready Awards
Several students have been recognised by UK employment charity Career Ready at the organisation’s annual awards ceremony.
Set up to reward outstanding contributions to employability across the UK, the awards include three STEM Student of the Year categories across science, technology, and engineering. Each of the three winners will receive an all-expenses paid trip to CERN to visit the Hadron Collider.
Top prize in the engineering category went to Louise Cook, a student at Portlethen Academy in Aberdeen. Having taken part in the Career Ready programme, Louise believes she is now better prepared to enter the engineering profession.
“Before I started the Career Ready programme I was unsure of my future and what career path I would take,” she said. “I lacked experience in the workplace and the self confidence to decide my future. Now I have a clearer idea of my future career and I am a much more confident person.”
“It is such an honour as I had no idea I would have the chance to be nominated. Being on the Career Ready programme is an amazing opportunity and this is the icing on the cake.”
