Our Achievement, ways to improve and future plans

What we have achieved

In the last couple of months, Help an Employ Me has significant achievement in different sectors. The first section to be mentionable is the communication between three large companies at Brunei and Bangladesh and their expression of interest towards us. The value proposition of Help and Employ Me which was created skilled employment opportunities for the disadvantaged people has attracted many organisations.

On the other hand, Help and Employ has been receiving significant responses from number of people who are willing to get skilled and employed as they are living in a poor condition. However, Help and Employ has been successful in terms of marketing as a new not for profit organisation. The acceptability from the community and support from the community has lead to the word of mouth marketing or viral marketing which has made a big difference.

The reflection of this success is the presence on social media. Today the organisation has received appreciation from more than 200 viewers in facebook, the new advertisement campaign video has already reached to nearly 100 views in just a couple of days time. Moreover, the changing life story in this blog is a good reflection that how people are happy to change their lives like dream come true. The biggest success lies there when we are able to see that out initiative is really working and people are about to change their lives which was always the core purpose.

Ways to improve

Unlike our achievement there are several key issues we can improve on. First of all the response rate with the clients need to be faster. Today we receive around 10 responses daily who are willing to enrol with us and get employed but at his early stage of the organisation operation we are unable to enrol the number of people. However, the demands from the employers are also growing as more and more companies are looking forward to get into collaboration with us.

In this gap the improvement required is to get more volunteers for trainers and administration. We are getting more demand than what are capabilities are at this moment .Therefore, we are looking forward to develop a community awareness program in search of volunteers who are willing to provide support by sharing their expertise. The administration also need be well collaborated and managed. We need clarify our expenses and income from sponsorship. However, currently the funds available need to be well allocated.

On the other hand we need to be more prominent on the print media and in local community school, colleges, universities as well as in the local council programs where there is more access to the prospective students and volunteers. At the end we would like to focus on organising ourselves and take planned actions as a part to take the organisation further

Future Plans

In the near future we would like to build a complete training centre which will be completely different from other training institution where people needs to pay and our one will be free cost. The centre will be the main head quarters for all kind of operations. Collaboration with large organisation around the world will be the biggest objective. Moreover, we will be having more customized training according to the companies’ requirement. Taking our noble cause further in the later when we are completely established we look forward to open college and university for disadvantaged people.

However, in terms of operation we look forward to cover our operations in Asia and Australia by 2020. However, we look forward to become more global than country based. We wish to train and produce skilled workers for everyone in this world. In this regard collaboration with governments of different countries for employee transfer into their countries will be our biggest future challenge.

Recently, there has been high demand of jobs created in the Middle eastern countries such as in UAE, Saudi Arabia and other international markets. It has been since long workers from different countries leave their own motherland to these countries without having any prior knowledge for the trades they are willing to work abroad.

A recent story in Dubai attracts the attention of Help and Employ Me. Abdur Rahman from India recently has spend nearly a 80,000 rupees (Indian Currency) to go to UAE for a construction work. He was motivated from his friends that if h goes t UAE he will be able to earn a lot and bring about a light of sun in their family with a higher income. Abdur Rahman did not have any prior knowledge of working in construction sites or as a the trade called bricklayer.

The condition at UAE was not as rosy as Abdur Rahman would have been dreaming. When he arrived at the first in his workplace in one of the renowned engineering company he was asked about what skill does he have as a bricklayer. He ended up being quiet and unsatisfactory results. The next moment he was rejected to the entry to the organisation and his Visa to stay there was cancelled. He had leave back home loosin all the savings he had spent to go there.

We took the case seriosuly and asked Abdur Rahman regarding his story and what was the main reason behind his failure journey to UAE. The answer was he was not trained to become a bricklayer. He never did anykind of work like that. According to his situation we suggested to get admission to our company so that we could offer him some training which will make him skilled and prepare enough to work abroad. On the other hand our communication and liason department contacted the organisation Abdur Rahman previously tried to work with and convinced them with appropriate documents that reveals tat Abdur Rahman is now a professional brick layer.

After 4 months and 6 months of practical and theoretical training Abdur Rahman left for UAE in a joint contract and agreement between his organisation and Help and Employ me Today he is able to send more than 10,000 Rupees to his family and leading a happy life.
