Emma Pinnock – Enterprise Advisor Support
Supporting Wilson Stuart as an enterprise adviser is a real privilege. I have a real passion to support pupils with additional needs to have as many opportunities as possible and this is a small way for me to support that mission.
Claire Donnelly -Birmingham Careers Hub
I work as an Enterprise Coordinator with Birmingham Careers Hub and The Careers and Enterprise Company to support schools with their careers programme and help make connections between schools and businesses. Having qualified as a teacher 25 years ago, I have worked in a number of primary schools in Birmingham, Solihull and London, a secondary school in Coventry, and a Further Education college. I also enjoyed working for 8-years in recruitment as a Recruitment Consultant and Business Development Manager.
As a parent of a young person with SEND, I recognise the importance of preparing all young people for their best ‘next step’.
Employers across the city are keen to support careers activities in and out of school to help develop employability and life skills, and to inspire and prepare all our young people for their future.
