Local Woman, Finneen Bradley, with 17 years of experience in careers education and development, has been nominated for two UK Career Awards at CareersFest 2024.
In May 2023, Finneen launched Finnesse Careers and Empowerment C.I.C, a social enterprise dedicated to providing careers education, personal development, and tailored masterclasses.
Since then, she has been delivering her services both locally and nationally.
“I wanted to start my own careers business for many years, but the timing was never right due to family commitments,” Finneen shared.
“However, with the guidance of Sandra Wylie, a business consultant from Enterprise NW, and the expertise of Brian O’Neil, I was finally able to make my vision a reality.”
Finnesse Careers and Empowerment C.I.C offers a range of services, including:
• One-to-one tailored careers advice and guidance
• Corporate career development
• Careers gap analysis for schools, colleges, and universities
• Community development through programs like Power Skills and the Empowerment Program
Finneen expressed her excitement about the award nominations: “I am absolutely thrilled to have been nominated for not one, but two UK Career Awards.
“It’s incredibly special that people took the time to nominate me! I was shocked but thrilled when I found out, and then I received a second notification about a second nomination – I couldn’t believe it! To top it all off, I’m the only nominee from Northern Ireland, competing alongside 12 other finalists from across the UK. It’s truly an honour.”
Finneen has been nominated for the following awards:
• Careers Impact Award
• Careers Star Award
The awards ceremony will take place on October 18, 2024.
Finneen’s career journey began in 2007 when she completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Career Guidance (PGDQCG) at Ulster University’s Magee campus.
“From that moment, I was hooked! I’ve spent the last 17 years working in careers, and I foresee many more to come.”
Finnesse provides a professional, impartial, and transformational careers and personal development service, specialising in career development, careers masterclasses, emerging talent, CEIAG (Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance), and effective career development for organisations.
“I am deeply committed to empowering individuals of all ages to unlock their full potential, guiding them to grow in confidence
and purpose.
“Its incredibly fulfilling to witness the transformation of generations as they embrace their strengths and pursue meaningful paths”.
Finneen Bradley is also in the final stages of launching her first tangible careers product, designed to empower individuals on their career development journey.
With a second innovative solution already in the pipeline, her commitment to career development continues to grow.
