Motivational Talk
I think it was great for Bianca to attend and inspire our youth; they really enjoyed hearing her inspirational account of how she has become a young successful business woman. The networking session with Bianca after the event received really good feedback from attendees too. We would definitely consider using Bianca for future events.
Motivational Talk and Personal Branding Workshops
All of the students left feeling motivated and inspired. Our students sometimes struggle to understand the importance of being employable and Bianca approach really helped. ‘Bianca is simply amazing’. Bianca Miller is more than just the ‘lady from The Apprentice’ she is an inspiration to all young people. Thank you so much for working with the students from The Urswick School.
Personal Branding Workshops with Motivational Talk-Isleworth and Syon School
I believe Be Employed UK helped our students as it was relevant to all of them. It covered the needs of those looking to go into work and those who will be attending university interviews and those who maybe needed a bit more self-confidence. We will definitely be using the company again.
The workshops delivered were inspiring, informational and creative. Bianca has the students engaged from the beginning and worked hard to get them all involved and captivated. Members of staff commented on how they ‘wish they had something like this whilst they were at school’. Students said it was ‘useful’ and ‘made them think about things they had no considered before for example the elevator pitch’.
Some students immediately after the session went into the Library to work on their CV’s which is very encouraging to see as it meant the workshop had clearly made an impact on their thinking. I will recommend Be Employed UK to other members of staff and other schools.
Segi A – Interview Coaching with Bianca Miller May 2015
Be Employed UK has given me an excellent framework to apply when approaching interviews, writing CV’s and covering letters. Working with Bianca has been incredibly motivating and her coaching has given me the confidence to truly focus on my chosen career path. I would definitely use Be Employed UK again.
I have had a fantastic experience with Be Employed UK and they have been professional and knowledgeable every step of the way. Bianca offered excellent career advice which I am confident will put me in the best position to secure the job I want in my chosen field. I highly recommend using Be Employed UK to hone interview skills or advise on any important career decisions
Personal Branding Workshops, Business Game, Motivational Talk – Preston Manor School
The business game was great. It stretched the students to think about extra costs that are involved in running a business that they would never have thought of.
This was a truly brilliant morning! The students were carefully selected to complete different workshops.
Our most able students did the business game and this did stretch them (especially when calculating the finances).

“Bianca really helped me think about what I want to do when I grow up!”

“Fantastic afternoon. The students have now been made more aware of personal branding and ways to improve on this going forward. “

“Please pass on a huge thank you from Harlow College to Bianca and the team the students really enjoyed the session and found the tips and practical elevator pitch part productive.”

Pupils from a widening participation background are eight times less likely to attend a selective university than their well off counterparts. Once these students graduate, they face significant hurdles to entering the employment market, often due to a lack of contacts and prior knowledge about professional sectors. The Be Group offer an essential service introducing pupils and students to the concept of professional networking and preparation for the world of work. Delivering sessions to year 12 students on the Sutton Trust summer school at King’s College London and to year 8 pupils on the Promoting Potential summer school at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), Bianca Miller and her team have proved to be a fundamental element of widening participation activities.
The students connect with Bianca’s age appropriate delivery and leave her sessions ready to give ‘firm handshakes, elevator pitches, enter and leave a conversation, manage their social media profile, ask for business cards and follow up after a networking event.’ Bianca’s ‘Networking for the Legal Profession’ delivered at Allen & Overy to the Pathways to Law students before their work experience received one of the highest ratings and is testament to the interactive and high quality information, advice and guidance offered.
