Skills you’ll gain:

✔︎ Communication ✔︎ Self & Other Awareness ✔︎ Emotional Intelligence ✔︎ Decisiveness ✔︎ Self-management ✔︎ Continuous Improvement

The cost will be £975+ VAT for 1 day of training, for up to 12 delegates – including all preparations, trainer’s expenses, and materials.

What is Employability Training?

Bridging the gap between “Student Life” and “Work Life” can be a significant challenge to a Student entering the “commercial world”. The transition from “Student Mind Set” to those required in the world of Commerce  can be immense. Whilst many Students, prior to Work Placement or Full Time Employment, will have experienced an element of ‘team-working’, ‘shared visions and corporate goals, vision and mission statements and ‘lower-case p’ Politics, the immersion into a commercial world takes these to the  next level and can sometimes be over-whelming to learn how to thrive in their new cultural setting.

Our online programme is the perfect preparation for any student about to embark on work placement interviews or full time employment. The application of emotional intelligence and the social skills covered in this programme will be invaluable to the Students to support them in the transition. Through the development of Self-Awareness the Students will embark on a journey: Understanding YourselfUnderstanding OthersUnderstanding Life / Organisation and Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence concepts are key to a successful transition from ‘academic to commercial’.
