Blog Tag: BrightMinded team

It gives me great pleasure to announce BrightMinded turns 10 years old this week! It’s been an incredible, fun, challenging, and fantastic journey.

New year, new projects! As 2021 has made its start, we’re still as busy as ever and we thought it time to share another Quarterly Update to show you what we’ve been up to. We are very fortunate that the beginning of the year has got off to a flying start here at BrightMinded, especially in the current climate. Hopefully, this year will only keep improving from here on out, and maybe we’ll even start to see some sense of normality return (touch wood we haven’t just jinxed it!).

Over the last several weeks, we’ve started to see a shift in the world around us: the leaves have started falling, going outside in just a t-shirt is no longer the best of ideas, schools have started again. It can only mean one thing: Autumn is here! For us, that means it’s time for another Quarterly Update blog to update you on what we’ve been up to since July, when we released our last one.

When lockdown was announced, we at BrightMinded expected to be twiddling our thumbs waiting for our next project to come through. However, we have been very fortunate to be inundated with work!

Times are strange. We’re all at home, we can’t leave for more than one hour at a time, and shops and cafes are closed. For a lot of us, that means we have much more time to kill within our own homes than we ever have before. Here at BrightMinded, we have certainly been feeling this, so we decided to share what we’ve been doing to keep ourselves occupied to inspire some of you, and help give an insight into who we are as a team! Hopefully there’s something for you to enjoy here, too.

Having hosted six students over the summer, we thought we could use their and our experience to create some advice for students looking for work experience. Organisations hosting students may find these findings useful too.
