Build Your Own Integrated Employability Solution

We work closely with our university partners to create high quality employability solutions that drive student engagement and boost graduate outcomes. Our Design-Build-Deliver methodology gives you full autonomy on when, where and how you wish to implement our experiences, ensuring full alignment with your employability ambition.

We have a growing portfolio of 10-hour experiences for you to choose from. These are modular, stackable and can be deployed as extra-curricular or curriculum-embedded opportunities - or a combination of both! The result is a truly personalised virtual work experience programme that you can be proud to offer to your students!
