Meet Krupa:
From Biomedical Science to STEM Inspiration
Discover Krupa’s journey from a Biomedical Science student at De Montfort University to an inspiring workshop leader at Aveea.
Hi, I’m Krupa! I studied Biomedical Sciences at De Montfort University and joined Aveea as an assistant, with only a little prior experience as a Nursery Assistant.
The challenge at Aveea was exactly what I needed. The team was supportive, training me thoroughly, and I quickly found my rhythm. Within months, I moved from handling tasks to leading my own workshops, truly impacting young minds.
Balancing this role with my studies was seamless; I managed to make a significant impact without sacrificing my revision time. I even earned a tidy sum, much more than typical student jobs! A quick tip for prospective applicants—you might need a car to navigate Leicester schools.
Now graduated, I’ve moved on from Aveea, but during my interviews, employers were fascinated by my experiences there, often more than my degree itself. Sharing these real, impactful stories made a lasting impression.
This experience has been instrumental in my transition into pharmaceutical sales and working with medical suppliers. The skills I developed, like public speaking and presenting, have been vital in adapting to and excelling in my current roles.
Working at Aveea was more than just a job; it was a crucial step in my journey to inspire the next generation of scientists and thinkers. It perfectly complemented my academic goals and really my career.
Meet Kelly:
Transforming Nerves into Inspiration at Aveea
Explore how Kelly transitioned from a college student to a confident workshop leader at Aveea.
Hey! I’m Kelly. When I first joined Aveea Academy, I was in sixth form with not a lot of prior work experience. Honestly, the initial weeks were daunting—I was really nervous about stepping into such a responsible role. But with the supportive environment at Aveea, this helped me quickly find my stride.
The team believed in me more than I believed in myself at times! Now, as I study at university, I’m not just attending classes—I’m leading workshops at Aveea. Each workshop I run feels like a step closer to my dream of becoming a teacher.
The experiences I’m gaining here are irreplaceable. From seeing the spark of understanding in a child’s eyes to handling the various challenges that come with group dynamics, each workshop is enriching. I can’t wait to share these experiences in future job interviews. I know the real-world skills I’m developing here at Aveea—inspiring children and making a tangible impact—will set me apart. I’m in such a great position, and I’m truly grateful for how much I’ve grown and learned in this role.
My journey with Aveea has been more than just a job; it’s been a formative part of my career path, and I’m excited about the future. I’m here making a difference, and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my professional life.
After a year, I was leading workshops, they even enrolled me in first aid and safeguarding courses, which were not only super insightful but also instrumental in boosting my confidence.
