Marketer Lizzie Named Kickstarter of the Month
A marketer who works for education and employability firm TG Consulting has been named as the Kickstarter of the Month for September 2021 by The Graduate Project.
Lizzie Hallam-Howard, Marketing Communications Executive, joined TG Consulting in May 2021 as part of the Government Kickstart programme.
The aim of the Kickstart scheme is to give young people aged 16 to 24 the chance to build their confidence and skills in the workplace and to gain experience to improve their chances of finding work.
Lizzie commented: “TG Consulting has provided a great opportunity for me to develop my marketing, project management and leadership skills and I am so thrilled to receive this award.
“I wanted to work for an inclusive and innovative company which cares about its employees and clients. When I found out about TG Consulting I was impressed by the innovative approach it had with the ultimate aim to help students, universities and businesses in their development and collaboration.
“I’m looking forward to expanding my knowledge and skillset in an environment working with like-minded, driven and friendly people.”
TG Consulting Director Tonia Galati said: “We are passionate about providing opportunities to young people, and we’re delighted that Lizzie’s hard work has been recognised by the Kickstart scheme.
“Since joining the company Lizzie has brought energy, passion and leadership into the team. Through her character and hard work she has impacted the organisation’s ability to connect with students, gain new partnerships and make a positive impact.
“She has set an incredible example with her work ethic and willingness to learn new things. We are actively planning to have her with us long term, should she accept.
‘I’m proud to say we lead by example: in the last year alone, TG Consulting has offered paid employment, work experience and career coaching to over 50 young people.”
Founded in February 2020, TG Consulting specialises in student engagement, graduate employability, diversity and inclusion and works with higher education providers, corporates and SMEs to break down barriers to employment and improve social mobility.
