Why We Call Ourselves Sherpa
Sherpas are a Himalayan ethnic group renowned for their role in mountaineering expeditions. Serving as guides, porters, and cultural ambassadors, Sherpas bring a unique blend of expertise and tradition to the world's highest peaks. Their deep knowledge of the mountains includes understanding complex terrains, predicting weather patterns, and setting up climbing routes with precision.
Similarly, achieving success in the competitive career landscape of the UK after investing in the finest education is a formidable challenge. Only a small minority of candidates fulfill their aspirations of attaining top-tier careers in the UK, and in this increasingly competitive environment, Sherpas are essential.
