Learning and development

Discover a hands-on approach to learning and development that can be tailored to your university careers ecosystem. We regularly deliver training to careers professionals, academics involved in employability delivery and student peers in careers.

Covering a diverse range of topics, our sessions are high-energy, interactive and designed to lead to changes in behaviour. We can also facilitate action focused team days that delve into the heart of your provision and explore new ways to deliver your offer.

Join our community of learners through our highly successful open programmes such as the Emerging Leaders Development Programme and the Peers in Careers Ideas Factory.

Programmes and case studies

  • STP: HE Careers Teams

    The transition from student to professional requires a significant shift in mindset and behaviours. We want to solve this problem and enable students, early careers professionals, and all those who support their development, to successfully navigate the transition. Designed for HE careers teams, our interactive workshop will help you understand the Student To Professional (STP) model/psychometric and how it can be used to support students/graduates to make the transition successfully.

What our university clients say about us

  • ‘I liked working with the different experts across the Gradconsult team - each member brought a different approach to our curated CPD programme and that kept the team engaged and energised. I loved the flipped aspects of the CPD programme, that encouraged staff to get into the right mindset and be better prepared for making meaningful contributions at the sessions.’
