Joanne today introduced volunteers from her STEP UP programme to members of the London Tigers youth club for free one to one tuition with their university and job applications.
Baroness Warsi, Conservative Shadow Minister for Community Cohesion and Social Action, also paid a visit to London Tigers HQ to speak to volunteers and students on the STEP UP programme.
First established by Joanne in 2008, STEP UP provides face-to-face tutoring followed up by email based mentoring. Students signed up to STEP UP will have the opportunity to attend skills work-outs designed to boost their confidence in pressurised interview situations. Each student will also be assigned a personal mentor who will provide guidance on the construction of a tailored CV and personal statement to improve their chances of success throughout the application process.
STEP UP is not political and anyone living in, or attending a state school in, Westminster North is welcome to sign up to take part in the programme as a volunteer or as a student.
Joanne is delighted about the new partnership with London Tigers on her project:
“I hope this is the beginning of a long and successful partnership between STEP UP and London Tigers.
“Not only do we want to provide local children with a ‘step up’ towards achieving their goals in life but we also want these children to ‘step up’ and take advantage of the opportunities the programme provides.
"By pairing our students with people who have recent experience of entering the job market or dealing with the university application process, we will be helping them to achieve the success that they deserve in their chosen career path.”
