WorKing
Options
Ambassador.
WorKing Options has two aims: To enable state
schooled college students to realise their full
potential and secondly to raise the profile of the
Food & Drink, retail and grocery industry
(FMCG) as a career option.
We fulfil our aim by bringing in Volunteer
Speakers from the FMCG industry into colleges
to share their career journey and also through
our website where students can find helpful
advice and tips. Here is a review of our journey
so far.

“The
event
was
perfect
for
our
learners.
It
was
engaging
and
inspiring.
The
choice
of
guest
speakers
is
the
key
element
to
such
a
talk.
And
our
guest
speakers
could
relate
to
our
learners….
and
inspired
many.”
Ali
Shah,
Calderdale
College.
We are making great progress and we would not be able to
do it without the support of our volunteers and college staff.
Thank you all so much for your dedication and enthusiasm.
