Briefly describe the goal that led your organisation to EBP South.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance likes to focus on engagement, and were looking for a good network of schools.
Why did you choose to work with EBP South?
We chose to work with EBP South as there is a great network and range of schools across the region, which gives us the opportunity to engage with lots of people and spread awareness.
What actions/activities have taken place with EBP South to reach your goal?
We have brought our flight simulator which often had a queue out the door, giving us the opportunity to engage with many, we also taught people how to perform CPR, which might one day save a life.
“Something that stand out for me, usually happens at each event, is seeing the student’s eyes light up, realising there’s a career opportunity out there, that they weren’t even aware of, and then asking specific questions of what they could do to get there.”
What has been the most valuable aspect of working with EBP South, and why?
From EBP we have been invited to several other careers fairs, careers talks in schools and have made connections with other organisations.
Would you recommend that others work with us, and if so, why?
Yes, as the students are always willing to listen and the events are well organized.
Staff are treated really well at each event, sometimes lunch is provided too!
“My favourite part of working with EBP is everyone is so friendly, the events are well organised, the communications before are excellent and the data provided after is extremely helpful.”
What call to action would you give to other organisations considering working with EBP South?
They are so beneficial! Sign up to one and give it a go.
