Lithuanian City of London Club
City Big Brother. Tai LCLC organizuojamas pirmas tokio pobūdžio savanoriškas LCLC narių ir studentų profesinio mokymo (“mentorship”) projektas. Po itin sėkmingo 2009 metų starto, kviečiame prisijungti prie šiemetinio projekto!
Projekto pristatymas:
- Projekto Big Brother (BB) antrąją 2010 metų komandą sudaro 15 lietuvių – LCLC narių (investicijų bankininkai, finansininkai, konsultantai ir kt.)
- Projekto tikslas – suteikti bakalauro studijų lygio Lietuviams studentams, besimokantiems Anglijoje, Lietuvoje ar kitur, progą individualiai bendrauti su LCLC BB komandos nariais įvairiais profesiniais ir akademiniais klausimais.
- Numatomos neformalių diskusijų kryptys yra šios: a) patarimai stojantiems į tarptautines magistratūros programas; b) patarimai bendrais karjeros planavimo klausimais; c) vasaros praktikos bei nuolatinio darbo paieškos proceso aptarimas.
- Small Brothers ir Sisters (SB) paraiškos bus priimamos iki 2010m kovo 31 d.
- Projekto organizatoriai kiekvienam BB priskirs iki trijų SB, atsižvelgdami į pasirinkimus, motyvacinį laišką, BB galimybes. Ne visos SB paraiškos bus patenkintos. Taip pat kai kurie BB gali turėti po mažiau nei 3 BB (žr. BB pristatymo paragrafų skaičių skliausteliuose). Po BB ir SB suporavimo, bendravimo kryptys bei efektyvumas priklausys tik nuo pačių SB iniciatyvos.
- Svarbu: projekto tikslas nėra padėti SB gauti darbus tam tikrose įmonėse ar “įstoti į MBA”; koncentruojamasi bus į supratimą, kaip vyksta samdymas į specifines profesijas, ko reikia stojant į geriausias magistratūros programas ir kt.
- Apie 2009 metų projektą daugiau gali sužinoti čia.
