 As Dr. Leo Marvin taught us in the comedy ‘What About Bob?’, everyday growth and development is synonymous with baby steps. Some, such as Marvin’s obsessive-compulsive, vacation wrecking, Neil Diamond-despising patient, Bob Wiley, can take the concept a bit too literally (and too far). But for the management professional, taking baby steps is a solid ground principle that can, in turn, develop a manager’s knowledge, expertise and skills. And while Arras People is in the business of getting the project management professionals to that next position, they are also in the business of providing those baby step opportunities to candidates. 

 In so doing, Arras People is also helping several local North West charities take a few more steps toward their goals.  Careers clinics, held throughout the last eight months by Arras People, have helped to develop the skills and fast-track the career paths of assistant project managers hoping to become established project managers, or project administrators to become project co-ordinators and programme office managers. The clinics are also beneficial for any project management professional looking for general advice and guidance on the construction of their project management CV. For a small donation of just £10, candidates registered with Arras People have learned, developed and taken their baby steps. The candidates’ donations? Oh, they’ve just gone on to benefit the charity of the candidate’s choice. And

 Arras People? They’ve matched the candidates’ donations pound-for-pound, raising over £1,000 for Francis House Children’s Hospice, Three Owls Bird Sanctuary and Heywood Little Monkeys Children’s Charity. 

 John Thorpe, a director of Arras People, feels that it is important not only to educate and develop their candidates, but show it’s presence in the community.‘It is great to have a dedicated team who are willing to make time to share their experience and at the same time generate money that goes towards helping others in our community,’ he said.   And the baby steps that candidates can take through Arras People show no immediate signs of slowing. Careers Clinics are still available through April and will be offered continuously throughout the year with any of our three in-house advisers. The £10 donation fee will go toward any one of three new charities, and you must be available to talk via telephone with the Arras People representative at the specific time and date you sign up for. To sign up for a clinic in April, details are available at http://www.arraspeople.co.uk/PMC_Clinic/.
