Inspiration for Leicester Award


Leicester Award – How I came in to it

Education makes us known to the world and enables us to reach the first step our career ladder but in reality the challenge lies in climbing the career ladder. I firmly believe that that transferable skill beyond academics is essential to stand out. Glimpses of flyers the flashing of Leicester award adverts all around the campus and in careers room captured my attention and made me more curious
The puzzle was unwilled, when I met some career advisors and Leicester Award team. I always had passion for extracurricular activities, all though it is done by passion at the end of the when it just goes unnoticed some the times the interest level falls down to continue it future. This question was in the back of mind…..Well I got clear answer to this when I understood the structure of Leicester award plan where we choose one out of many Leicester award experiences, and once we are short listed for a particular experience we get support and training to go ahead, which not only  makes our extracurricular activity effective in our CV but also comes in our degree transcript.


With many choices to take – I was in sixes and sevens to find the best fit. Sustainability was close to my heart yet I thought I can do even without Leicester Award and it worked out – I was nominated for Leicester student Award for creating Green Impact by Environmental Volunteering. Tomorrow’s Manager’s found to be related to my course, I was advised as I am doing MBA, and the regular course itself would cover it. I wanted to make the most of me and Chose WISE to have a Practical feel of Social Enterprising.
The journey toward social enterprising started from there..We had a two workshop to start with followed by practical experience in a social Enterprise in Practical grounds.
