Mackies Ice Cream & The Recruit
A guest blog from school pupils currently partaking in The Recruit, our programme within schools, assisting pupils to get employment ready and encouraging enterprising thinking.
Hi, we a are small group of 5th/6th year students from an employability programme called Recruit, run by Elevator. In our group we have learnt about communication skills, teamwork, problem-solving, general personal development and how to use these skills in things like job interviews.
Recently we received a challenge from Mackie’s ice cream to create a new flavour for them that will fit in with the traditional Mackie’s brand. They even brought along their ice cream flavour for us to try at the Elevator office.
As research for our project we would greatly appreciate it if you could help by filling out this ice cream survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LPXXSF6 thank you very much.
