University
Developing life skills, personal growth and work links for young people at university
Life Skill Days
We upskill student employability skills!
With 12+ years working with graduates we aim to show, from an employers point of view, what skills are required and how your students can demonstrate them.
Students should leave your university understanding their potential and able to showcase how truly brilliant they can be. We work alongside your career / employment teams to deliver 1/2 day or full day workshops in a truly unique, interactive and engaging way.
Led by employers, business owners and personal development specialists all of our services are designed to give students the tools to stand out, aim high and demonstrate a positive, growth mindset.
A bi-product of our workshops is that your students will be better placed to gain employment or venture solo however our true passion is in empowering young people with positive transferable skills that will help them reach their potential in all aspects of their life.

How the Days Run
Before the day you simply choose your theme and if you would like us to deliver to the same group all day (150 students max) or run a morning and afternoon session aimed at two different groups (150 students per group max)
The day starts with icebreaker games linked to our main topic. We then deliver some theory based learning and skill development before putting those skills to the test in a practical session. Each day includes a group project and a feedback / recap session.
Students get the chance to pracitce their interview technique in real life situations with real employers.
Led by employers, business owners and middle line managers responsible for recruitment within SMB’s, we work alongside your career / employment teams and host mock interviews and CV writing upskill sessions for students.
The programme is open to every student within your university and each week we host CV writing and interview masterclasses. We also invite students to book 1-1 sessions where they can either go through their CV with us or practice an interview / receive feedback.
​
Challenge, like many, hire directly from universities. Post COVID there has been a sharp increase in university based applicants unable to present themselves effectively. From avoiding eye contact to constantly underselling the role they can play in an organisation, students are constantly placing a ceiling on their potential.
​
Our programme will not only empower students with the tools to confidently walk into an interview and showcase the best version of themselves, they will also develop lifelong skills and traits that will help them thrive beyond their education.
​
Options:
Face to Face:
We visit your university for a day and work with groups with real life interview practice and CV writing masterclasses
​
Virtual:
Once a week we run live virtual sessions where we analyse CV’s, look at interview do’s and don’t and focus on how to give yourself the best chance to present yourself effectively in interviews.
Sessions are led by business owners, middle line managers and those responsible within SMB’s for reading CV’s and conducting interviews.
We aim to include at least one transferable life skill in each sessions and sessions will ensure that students are in the best possible position to gain meaningful post graduate employment
Students can then book 1-1 sessions to discuss their individual CV and interview technique
