This week we have welcomed our first young person for work experience through Behind Every Kick, a London youth charity that empowers young people by helping them to develop transferable life skills.
The programme primarily uses key insights and motivations from sport, tying in examples from the corporate world, to inspire young people to reach their full potential, both personally and professionally.
Natalie Odell, Head of Operations at Coniston, commented “As huge sports fans here at Coniston, we are delighted and proud to work with this innovative charity and look forward to getting to know Vardell over the course of the week. We plan to build on Behind Every Kick’s cornerstones of confidence, teamwork and communication whilst giving her a taste of real life at a Private Equity Firm. We were also pleased to be able to show our support by donating to the charity.”
Ewan Flynn, Youth Engagement and Communications Manager at Behind Every Kick, commented “We are pleased to partner with Coniston Capital and are sure that Vardell will find the experience valuable.”
Vardell is studying for her A-Levels and has a keen interest in the world of business, having already set up her own business creating an app; an entrepreneur in the making!
