Camberley training academy helps take local jobseekers from redundancy to runway
A Camberley training academy has helped local jobseekers go from redundancy to runway by sponsoring ten tickets to the M3 Job Club’s fundraising fashion show.
Step8Up Academy has supported ‘Step Forward: The Empower Runway Fundraiser’ – a unique networking event to show how personal style can help jobseekers enter the world of work looking and feeling their very best.
Held at the Apollo Hotel in Basingstoke, guests enjoyed an evening of colour & image analysis, makeup demos, budget styling tips and a catwalk featuring M3 Job Club members, local models, and boutiques. In total, the evening raised £1,750 for the charity.
The M3 Job Club has supported over 2700 people across the south to get back into work following redundancy or career breaks through networking opportunities and personalised support delivered by experts.
Sales and Marketing Apprentice at Step8Up Jack Adcock said: “I’d never seen a networking event like this before! We encourage each of our learners to think about their own personal branding. It doesn’t just deliver a strong impression to potential employers, it can give that extra boost of confidence that makes all the difference. It was a pleasure to be part of such a fantastic evening.”
CEO of the M3 Job Club Amanda Fisackerly said: “It’s our goal to inspire confidence and courage in everyone who attends our events. Open to both jobseekers and business professionals, we wanted to organise an event where guests could connect through fashion and find their own self-belief – especially as we navigate such uncertain economic times. We’re delighted Step8Up decided to support us to host what was a truly uplifting evening.”
