Session six of the ASPIRE programme marked another significant step in the participants' journey of self-discovery, as they delved into the exploration of their unique learning styles and personal development goals. This session was all about understanding how they learn best and using that knowledge to set clear, achievable career objectives.
The session was expertly facilitated by industry specialist Yaman Saqqa, who guided participants through the SMART framework—an effective tool for setting Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals. By applying this framework, participants gained valuable insights into how to structure their ambitions and create actionable plans for their professional growth.
A particularly engaging part of the day was the creation of vibrant vision boards. This creative exercise allowed participants to visualise their future career paths and aspirations, bringing their goals to life in a tangible and inspiring way. Through interactive discussions and hands-on activities, they gained clarity on their personal and professional development journey, leaving the session with a renewed sense of direction and purpose.
The session also featured a powerful guest presentation by Ebony King, who bravely shared her first hand experience as a former money mule. Ebony’s testimony raised critical awareness about the dangers of financial crime and the importance of staying vigilant in today’s interconnected world. Her story underscored the need for financial literacy and ethical decision-making, offering a sobering reminder of the real-world consequences of such activities.
To cap off the day, participants enjoyed a special interaction with therapy dogs, providing a unique opportunity for relaxation and connection. The presence of the therapy dogs created a soothing atmosphere, allowing participants to unwind and reflect on their learning experiences in a supportive and calming environment. This thoughtful addition to the session helped to reinforce the importance of self-care and mental well-being as they continue their journey.
As the ASPIRE programme progresses, we remain inspired by the growth and dedication of our participants. Each session brings them closer to realising their potential, equipped with the skills and knowledge to navigate their careers with confidence.
Stay with us as we continue to share their remarkable progress and the exciting milestones they achieve along the way!
