    with a top employer

  • In the We Speak programme, you'll develop your speaking confidence in key areas such as talks, informal conversations with employers and job interviews.

     

    It's a friendly and relaxed environment with no pressure, so perfect if you feel less confident speaking. It's average to feel nervous speaking in front of a group (70% of university students we surveyed felt apprehensive.)

     

    You'll be supported by Peer Mentors, who are students who've been through similar journeys, and by mentors from top employers like Investec, Just Eat, Google, Dojo, General Electric or Wavemaker.
     
    Participants receive a Certificate of Achievement. The next 4-week programme starts w/c 10 June.
