Inspiring the next generation to reach their potential in business

Applebee Marketing Limited is proud to support the work of the Leicestershire Education Business Company (LEBC). As volunteers, companies like Applebee Marketing participate in events run by LEBC that aim to inform and inspire students as our workforce of tomorrow, various choices available to them after education.

Founder and Managing Director of Applebee Marketing said “I am passionate helping young people reach their full potential. As a local business, it is important for me to pass on some of my knowledge and experience to the next generation around the region.

“LEBC offer students valuable insights into the real world of work. They organise events with local schools such as mock interviews and speed networking. It’s an excellent opportunity for the students to ask questions to employers from a wide variety of industry sectors.” He added.

Andy went on to say “It can help students make an informed career decision, gain confidence, get interview experience and advice on building a better CV. Delivered as part of the school’s curriculum, all of this professional interaction comes with limited pressure on the individuals. From an employer’s perspective, all you do is turn up – LEBC sort everything else.

“Take the Speed Networking sessions. These are fast-paced careers events that allow young people to gain a wealth of knowledge a variety of jobs and career opportunities in a short amount of time. During each session, volunteers from a business like Applebee Marketing will speak to pairs of students who will ask questions their job and career journey.

“It’s a great way to support the next generation and give something back. I recommend giving it a go.” He concluded.
