icanbea... // Youth Pledge for Employers
It’s a huge pleasure to be listed on the ‘icanbea’ website, which is a free careers inspiration tool, focussed on helping 12-25 year olds in Norfolk and Suffolk. It's aimed directly at students and job seekers who are looking for inspiration of what to do with their lives and what career they might wish to explore.
As someone who has had a colourful career past, I hope I can inspire those that read my journey and know there are so many wonderful opportunities out that. You kind of need to have a go at so many things, before you find something that fits.
“My message to you? Don’t worry if you ‘Don’t know’ what you want to do or be in your future life........it is incredibly rare that anyone does, certainly when you are young. So stick your hand up and try everything........you never know what skills you are gaining which you will use in future jobs.
Think of your Job journey as a Daisy Chain.....each one connects to the next. Who knows where it will take you! “ - Katie”
I am now part of the ‘Youth Pledge for Employers’ (YPfE) project. This was about making local small and medium business (like WOW) visible to young people in this region from a careers inspiration and opportunities perspective.

And also watch a recent small video I did for NCC (Norfolk County Council) to promote the icanbea… wonderful tool and what a ‘Career Outdoors’ is like.
