Hi Team mpeople

For those who are wondering what the “head in the bucket” award is - I have had many laughs with the Bradford and Wakefield teams since the inception of mpeople especially those silly moments when someone does something outstanding silly and you really just want to put your head in the bucket and laugh it off. Hence the head in the bucket award

I am keeping all these precious moments like a proud father between the teams and boy have there been some funny moments

• Erica sent an email to a wonderful candidate of ours called Stella which was fine but her name was Emma - good job she is a wonderful candidate and understanding.
• Anne-Marie wrote done the telephone number of a target client, phoned them three times but kept getting through to Vicki who sits next to her, when she complained about a fault on the line she found she had written down the Wakefield office number and was in fact calling mpeople, target client?????

I’m sure their are going to be more…..watch this space.

Organised by: Make Your Mark in Wakefield

A chance to get a taxi journey free! One pink taxi in Wakefield, passengers can participate in having an idea, telling an ‘ideas guru’ at the end of the telephone and if they like the idea the passengers ride is free!

There are already a great number of local services involving education, training, mentoring and start-up support. The Make Your Mark campaign aims to be a populist communications ‘front-end’ to light the initial spark of awareness or ambition that inspires young people to believe in their own entrepreneurial potential.

Make Your Mark inspires and informs young people of the opportunities that are available to them. Through connecting them to networks that support enterprise, we aim to encourage young people in Wakefield to take their ideas to the next level.

To ensure mpeople get involved with this excellent community based initiative and live mpeople’s own core values the Wakefield team have been working on “community” and applied for and been accepted as business mentors. We will each take an individual child aged 14 and work with them over the coming 2 years acting as mentor to them. Each child is on the “Aim Higher” monitoring assisting them to improve grades at school, life experiences, knowledge of industry, building relationships etc.

In addition to this Craig Storton has spent a hour running an “Interview Technique” mentoring scheme to year 11 at St John Fisher School – Dewsbury, preparing them for mock interviews which are held with Business seniors a few days later. It was clear when attending the interviews the teenagers had listened well and applied most of the ideas presented in the mentoring. These interview workshops will be held at 10 schools in Wakefield, Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Leeds.
