Invest in the skills development for our students by delivering an interactive skills session.
Take an active role in upskilling students for the workplace through interactive group activities. Participation is an excellent free opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to the skills development of our students.
Our Employer-led Skills Session programme enables students to experience first-hand what it is like to work in your industry and equips them with the skills needed to be a success in the workplace.
