Careers Confidence Programme

Event Overview

Career Confidence

Taking your next career step can feel daunting, particularly when you’re unsure which path is right for you. The Career Confidence Programme gives you the opportunity to gain real-world experience, develop workplace skills and build confidence in a supportive environment. No previous industry experience is required.

What to expect?

You’ll join a multidisciplinary team of around six students and work on a live Sustainable Impact project, linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), for an industry partner. Together, you’ll investigate a real organisational challenge, research potential solutions, develop evidence-based recommendations and present your findings in a professional Final Report. The programme involves approximately 30 hours across November, including two live online sessions, with remaining activities completed flexibly around your studies.

What do you gain?

Confidence

Recognise your strengths, communicate your skills effectively and develop confidence for applications, interviews and professional situations.

Skills

Develop valuable workplace skills including teamwork, communication, project management and problem-solving, with optional modules covering areas such as Data Analysis, Artificial Intelligence and professional identity.

Experience

Gain practical experience and real examples to strengthen your CV, interview answers and LinkedIn profile, while developing your understanding of professional working environments.
