Glazers in the Community

Careers advice – it’s all part of the service

Robert Glazer, a partner at Glazers, has acted as Finance Director of the Barnet Education Business Partnership on a voluntary basis for over 10 years. He was recently approached by them and asked if we could send a couple of Glazers employees to talk about their careers to groups of 90 “year 10” – 14-15 year old pupils at local schools.

Sophie Lewington, a member of our Audit team, and Bernice Rubenstein, Glazers’ Marketing Manager, were the willing volunteers. Both speakers have had diverse careers before joining Glazers which meant that the pupils benefited from their wide-ranging insight into the world of work and their knowledge of careers in other sectors in addition to the job they currently work in.

The pupils were given talks by representatives from a range of businesses and there was a chance for a more in-depth discussion with pupils after the presentations. The Glazers staff thoroughly enjoyed the time spent at the schools and felt that both they and the pupils gained from the experience. “The scheme is extremely well run and the Partnership provides a fresh innovative approach for schools” says Bernice Rubenstein.
