Title: Job-hunting and Assessment Centre Advice

 

‘According to research, 40% of graduates are still looking for a job more than 6 months after graduation. It also shows that only the top 2% of applicants manage to get an interview. Securing employment, whether it be a graduate scheme, placement year or internship, can be daunting. 

 

Our job-hunting and assessment centre advice session has been designed by specialist trainers who have worked with some of the UK’s biggest brands and who know what employers look for when recruiting graduates. 

 

The session provides an insight into the ways in which graduates can create an eye-catching CV, excel at psychometric tests, impress during the interview stage and ace assessment centres.

 

By using our interactive voting, specialist insight and top-tips from some of the UK’s leading graduate employers, attendees will leave the session feeling prepared for the working world!’

 

 

 

Title: Leaders for Life

 

‘Leadership is an essential quality- good leaders are able to drive teams, businesses and change the world as we know it! It is a quality that employers rate highly, and want to see in their graduate hires.

 

Our Leaders for Life Session, designed and delivered by a specialist leadership trainer, questions the characteristics that define a leader, the skills they possess and the working cultures they create.

 

Through the use of our interactive voting system, discussion topics, visual learning aids and interviews with some of the UK’s biggest companies, attendees will leave our Leaders for Life session feeling empowered, confident and motivated to start their leadership journey.

 

This session is relevant to students at all stages of their university journey; with messages and methodologies that positively impact both their academic and professional development.’
