The training helped me secure my first job!
Entering the job market?
Welcome to this learning zone on entering the job market!
Securing your first job can feel like a huge mountain to climb – it can feel like other people do it easily, yet you may not feel the same way. We understand and we want to help. We do this together. Firstly, ask yourself, why do you think you lack the confidence you need? Are there any specific areas that you feel like you need help with? Be honest with yourself, yet also consider that one of our biggest challenges can be the negative voice in our head. To achieve the success that you are looking for, we believe there are two areas of focus;
Planning for success
Gaining helpful insights about researching companies.
Preparing a compelling CV and personal statement.
Interviewing well and communicating with confidence.
Negotiating your pay and package

Making Learning Last
Online learning can be boring though and does not always stick. That’s why we have created our own platform to get as close to the face-to-face training we have been delivering globally for years. We also use our own methodology to ensure learning lasts.
By Asking participants to reflect and appraise what they know already, we establish a starting point for learning the size of the skills gap.
We look to close the gap by Teaching the skill. We use assignments, videos, quizzes and animations to break up the content and increase interaction between the platform and the user.
The monthly Drop-in Clinics by Zoom provide a valuable opportunity to Talk about the themes of the modules, checking understanding and challenging ideas, as well as asking for advice, from peers and course creators, Jane Owens and Helen Flack.
This essential, in the moment Support also really helps to build confidence in the skills that they are learning online. We provide a Support Pack so that the learner can be reminded about the modules , as well as giving them an understanding of the complete Learning Journey.
Six months is too short!
We know that people learn at different rates, that’s why we keep the courses live for 12 months from sign-in. This means that each new course opens monthly, and once open, they can be used to refresh and remind until the end of 12 months. Plenty of time to revisit and remind to get it right!
