Why does the BWi Kickstart scheme work so well?
“BWi is a completely different experience for everyone! Most Kickstarter’s enrolled in the scheme had the assumption it was the sort of job where they would just learn marketing skills. However, the Kickstart scheme is about developing you as an individual, in order to aid you in achieving your future aspirations and goals. At the start you will be placed in a small team of like minded people who help push you to achieve your best during the 6 month placement.”

However, the BWi scheme is instrumental in providing me with many valuable skills that will open up opportunities for a career path I am interested in. The scheme provides opportunities for personal growth and the chance to learn new skills I would not have the opportunity to learn elsewhere. BWi are helping me to make the decision on a career path to pursue, through finding what skills I excel in but also enjoy.”
How will the Kickstart scheme impact your future?
“I studied Fashion Marketing at university and would love to have a job within the fashion industry. I felt that working as a Marketing Assistant for BWi would be a great opportunity to get my foot in the door. Within my first week of working for the BWi scheme, I had already gained invaluable experience working on social media and marketing projects. It has also enabled me to become more confident. It’s amazing that I can do all of this in the comfort of my own home.”
