Testimonials: What it means to us...
Stephen McPartland
"Education is the best way to change a child’s life chances and Uniqueness gives them the confidence to grasp that education."
Member of Parliament for Stevenage
Lord Cobbold
"Uniqueness has identified a hugely important service for those reaching
the end of their schooldays and facing the daunting prospect of a future
career. Knowing one's strengths and weaknesses and identifying achievable
targets are a sound recipe for success."
Professor Clive Dimmock
"Transitioning from school to the world of work has been a perennial
problem for school leavers. The Uniqueness initiative is a timely and
much needed endeavour to address this crucial issue. It uses tried and
tested methodology to assist students in improving their self-knowledge
and awareness of their strengths and attributes, both of which are crucial
in assisting their decision making about choice and suitability of career.
This worthy effort is a major contribution to filling the void in many
school curricula in respect of preparing students for their adult lives.
It deserves every success and all the support it can generate."
Professor of Professional Learning and Leadership, University of Glasgow, UK
Barbara Follett
"Uniqueness is a wonderful initiative. Young people need as much help
as they can get in choosing the right career. It is good to see so many
local employers getting involved in such an interesting and worthwhile
project."
Former Member of Parliament
Ian Paske
"Stevenage Borough Council welcomes and supports initiatives to provide
closer links between business and education. The Uniqueness project appears
to fit the bill exactly by helping young people to get an insight into
the commercial world and its opportunities and by helping develop the
skills they need for their future careers."
Former Chief Executive of Stevenage Borough Council
Eric Peacock, CMG DL
"Uniqueness is an experiential journey for school leavers which provides
added value and personal insights developed by one of Hertfordshire's
young, energetic and serial entrepreneurs. It gives the school leaver
an opportunity to raise the bar on their personal goals and supports them
with tools and motivational support to enable them to realise their dreams."
Chairman of Baydonhill PLC
Simon Northcott - Herts Police Offender Management
"Robert, Firstly I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you very much for your time today with Adam and I. It was very inspirational.
Adam and I had a good talk about it in the car and I could see the ideas and possibilities whizzing around his head, this is something that i had never seen before (although i know for Adam, he can make it if he put his mind to it).
When I went back to Police HQ and told everyone that "Adam has been inspired and motivated", my colleagues found it hard to believe."
Mervyn Terrett - Tracks autism
"Just a brief note to thank you most warmly for the cheque of £435 from your charitable Trust for Tracks autism. The equipment is now being ordered this afternoon!"
