Student and graduate development

Our focus is on designing tailored employability modules, professional skills programmes and experiential learning days that resonate with the unique challenges faced by students and graduates as they transition from education into the world of work.

Whether you need a short online session tackling a specific skills gap or a full employability module, we use labour market insight and knowledge gained from our work with employers, to ensure your students and graduates are well prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We have our own psychometric tool, Student to Professional’ which maps the transition from university to the world of work and can be integrated into any session we deliver to provide students and graduates with their own personalised development plan.

We have developed three fully interactive, experiential days which we can deliver on your campus; Be The Recruiter, Sustainability Challenge and Innovation Funnel Hackathon.
